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

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-SS-BO is a 25-metre SFP+ active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand and fiber optic connections. Equipped with male SFP+ connectors on both ends, the cable provides a plug-and-play link between compatible SFP+ ports for short- to mid-range connections in data centres, server rooms, and network racks. Its optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and supports consistent 10 Gbit/s data transmission across a flexible, lightweight cable construction.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers stable 10 Gbit/s performance with low latency suitable for demanding network workloads. The integrated transceivers simplify installation by eliminating separate modules, and the lightweight fibre construction improves cable management compared with copper alternatives. Optical transmission reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and enables reliable links across 25 metres without additional signal conditioning.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between servers, switches and storage arrays within data centres
• High-density rack installations requiring flexible, space-saving cabling
• Low-latency links for virtualization, database clusters and InfiniBand fabrics
• Temporary or permanent links in network test environments and labs

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (active optical cable)
• Effective data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 25 metres
• Cable medium: active optical fibre
• Typical use: short-to-mid-range direct device interconnect in rack and data centre environments
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices you intend to connect, ensuring the connectors latch securely. Once inserted, devices should detect the active optical link automatically; verify link status and negotiated speed in device management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with cable management accessories where needed to maintain bend radius and airflow in racks.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its rated length and avoid exceeding recommended bend radii. For best results in production environments, confirm compatibility with device firmware and port policies before deployment. Store the cable in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use.
