BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 5 m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC5M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 5 m active optical cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed to support high-speed 10 Gbps links in data centre and enterprise environments. Built to MSA SFP+ mechanical and electrical standards, this pre-terminated AOC integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules and multi-mode fibre to provide a plug-and-play 5 m connection for switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP+-compatible equipment.

Advantages

This BlueOptics SFP+ AOC delivers 10GBASE-SR class performance over a 5-m multimode fibre link while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The integrated design reduces insertion loss and removes the requirement to clean or terminate patch cables, improving link reliability. The cable supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when the host supports this feature. Components are selected to meet MSA compatibility and industry performance expectations for long service life and high availability.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps uplinks between SFP+-equipped switches and routers
• Short-reach connections within server racks and between adjacent racks
• Storage area network (SAN) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps
• High-density data centre deployments requiring compact, plug-and-play fibre connections

Key specifications

• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ (male) to SFP+ (male)
• Transmission: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR) and compatible protocols up to 10 Gbps
• Media: Multimode fibre with integrated optical transmitter and receiver
• DDM/DOM: Supported (subject to host hardware support)
• MSA-compliant SFP+ electrical and mechanical interface

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC5M-BO by inserting the SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of each device until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are seated in SFP+-compatible ports and that the host devices support 10GBASE-SR or the intended protocol. No fibre patching or termination is required. If DDM/DOM monitoring is needed, enable the diagnostic functions in the host device and verify that the platform exposes the digital diagnostic values.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-reach, high-speed links within racks or between adjacent racks; avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, route the cable with gentle curves, and confirm host compatibility for DDM/DOM and SFP+ hot-plug support prior to deployment.
