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

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-ZY-BO is a 25 metre SFP+ active optical cable engineered for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre optic connectivity. With SFP+ male connectors on both ends, the cable is suitable for direct attachment between compatible SFP+ ports, supporting 10 Gigabit data rates while maintaining signal integrity over longer distances than copper alternatives. Designed for data centre and high-performance networking environments, the cable offers a compact, low-latency link with reduced electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 10 Gbps performance with the benefits of optical transmission: low attenuation, immunity to electromagnetic interference and reduced weight compared with copper equivalents. Its fixed 25 m length simplifies link planning and reduces the need for additional transceivers or patch panels. Male-to-male SFP+ terminations ensure straightforward, hot-pluggable installation into standard SFP+ ports with predictable electrical and optical characteristics.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and storage in data centre racks
• High-performance computing and InfiniBand fabrics requiring low-latency links
• Network aggregation and spine/leaf architectures where 10 Gbps links are required
• Environments that need EMI-resistant cabling or longer runs than copper SFP+ DACs allow

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gigabit per second
• Length: 25 metres
• Transmission medium: multimode optical link suitable for short-to-medium reach
• Latency: low-latency design appropriate for performance-sensitive networks
• Installation: hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until it clicks into place. Ensure both ends are seated in SFP+ cages or modules designed for direct-attach optical interfaces. Verify link status through the host device management or LEDs and confirm negotiated speed of 10 Gbps. When removing the cable, depress the release mechanism on the connector and withdraw gently to avoid stressing the cable or port.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp kinks and areas of mechanical stress. Maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent movement that could strain the SFP+ connectors. Use in compatible SFP+ ports and network equipment that support 10 Gbps active optical attachments; check device compatibility lists if required.
