BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-1M-AT-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 1m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-1M-AT-BO is a 1 metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends designed for 10G data links over multimode fiber. Compliant with SFP+ MSA specifications, this pre-assembled plug-and-play cable integrates laser transmitters and receivers within the cable ends to deliver low-latency, EMI-immune optical transmission for switches, routers, storage systems and other network hardware that accept SFP+ AOC modules.

Advantages

The AOC supports up to 10 Gbit/s data rates over a 1 m multimode link and offers a ready-made optical connection without separate patch cords, reducing insertion loss and simplifying installation. Built to MSA standards, it provides electrical, mechanical and functional compatibility with SFP+ ports that support AOC modules and includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, output and received power, and temperature. The cable uses high-quality components and is tested for interoperability and long-term operation.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch uplinks in data centres
• High-performance storage area networks (FCoE/10GBase)
• Short-reach 10G interconnects in networking racks and appliance clusters
• Environments requiring EMI-resistant links and reduced latency

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cable
• Length: 1 metre
• Rated data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Optical medium: multimode fiber with integrated transceivers
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support (MSA SFF-8472)
• Compliance: SFP+ MSA electrical/mechanical/functional compatibility; CE and RoHS compliant
• Typical lifetime: designed for extended operating life and high MTBF

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the latch engages and the modules seat fully. Verify device compatibility and that the host firmware supports third‑party AOC modules and DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. No separate fiber patching or connector cleaning is necessary for the pre-terminated assembly; handle the connectors by the housing and avoid bending the cable beyond recommended minimum bend radii.

Recommendations

Install the cable in rack environments with appropriate bend-radius management and secure routing to prevent strain. Confirm that the networking equipment supports SFP+ AOC modules and that DDM/DOM is enabled in host diagnostics if you need remote monitoring. For critical links, test the cable in your system prior to full deployment to verify interoperability and performance.
