BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-30M-AT-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 30m SFP+ Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-30M-AT-BO is a 30‑metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for 10GBASE‑SR class links over multi‑mode fiber. It integrates transmitter and receiver modules inside the cable ends to provide a pre‑assembled, plug‑and‑play optical connection suitable for high‑speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and other 10 Gbit/s applications in data centers and high‑performance computing environments. The cable conforms to SFP+ MSA form‑factor and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with hardware platforms that support SFP+ AOC modules.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers consistent 10 Gbit/s data transmission over a 30 m reach with immunity to electromagnetic interference, reduced latency compared with some copper alternatives, and simplified installation because no field termination or patching is required. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real‑time monitoring of parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature when the host supports these features. The product is manufactured to MSA guidelines and uses industry‑grade optical and electronic components to maintain long operational lifetime and high availability.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between SFP+ ports in switches and routers inside racks and across adjacent racks
• High‑performance computing clusters and server interconnects requiring 10 Gbit/s links
• Storage systems and SAN fabrics using Fibre Channel over Ethernet or Ethernet at 10 Gbit/s
• Environments where immunity to EMI and simplified cabling are required

Key specifications

• Connection: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (pre‑assembled AOC)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Reach: 30 metres (multi‑mode fiber AOC)
• Optical type: multi‑mode, short‑reach (10GBASE‑SR compatible)
• Form factor: SFP+ MSA compliant
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host hardware provides access
• EMI immunity inherent to fiber optic transmission

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure the attached devices are powered and configured to enable the SFP+ ports. If the host supports digital diagnostics, monitor link health and optical parameters through the management interface or diagnostic tools. No additional fiber patching or cleaning is required because the cable is factory‑terminated; however, inspect connector housings for debris before insertion if the environment is dusty.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short‑reach 10 Gbit/s links inside racks and between adjacent racks, avoid tight bends (observe the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer), and verify host compatibility for DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid mechanical stress on the SFP+ housings during installation and removal.
