BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-CN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 25m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-CN-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 25m Male/Male is an active optical cable engineered for 10 Gigabit connectivity over a 25 metre distance. Equipped with SFP+ compatible male connectors on both ends, it provides a direct, low-latency link between compatible network interfaces such as switches, servers and storage controllers. The cable combines the signal integrity of optical transmission with the convenience of a pre-terminated assembly to simplify installation in rack and data centre environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high bandwidth and low power consumption while maintaining consistent signal quality across the full 25 metre span. As a plug-and-play SFP+ solution, it reduces the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, minimises insertion loss and electromagnetic interference, and supports compact cabling within high-density racks. The pre-mated male connectors ensure mechanical stability and a secure connection between SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on top-of-rack and leaf switches
• Connecting servers to 10 GbE or InfiniBand-enabled network adapters
• Short-reach links in data centres and server rooms
• High-density cabling runs where easy deployment and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Nominal length: 25 metres
• Data rate support: 10 Gbps (InfiniBand/10 Gigabit Ethernet compatible)
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector form factor: SFP+ compatible
• Latency: low, suitable for time-sensitive applications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ male connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and that port indicators show an active link. No separate transceivers or patch panels are required for operation; the active optical assembly handles conversion and signal amplification. When removing the cable, press the connector latch and withdraw gently to avoid damage to the port or cable.

Recommendations

Use this cable in environments where a reliable 10 Gbps link is required over a 25 metre span. Avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius and keep the cable away from high-heat sources. Verify compatibility with device firmware and port types before deployment and perform link tests after installation to confirm expected performance.
