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

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-30M-PS-BO is a 30 meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for 10 Gbps optical link connections over multimode fiber. It follows SFP+ MSA form-factor standards and is intended for direct SFP+ to SFP+ connections between switches, routers, storage systems and servers in data center and high-performance networking environments. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end to provide optical signal transmission without separate transceivers, minimizing signal loss across the 30 m link.

Advantages

This 30 m BlueOptics AOC supports 10G optical data transmission and eliminates the need for separate patch cords or discrete transceiver modules, simplifying installation and reducing connector-related attenuation. The design is compliant with SFP+ MSA guidelines and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when used in compatible hardware, enabling real-time readout of parameters such as temperature, optical power and supply conditions. The pre-assembled cable reduces electromagnetic interference risks inherent to copper links and enables consistent performance over the full 30 m length.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps connections between SFP+ ports in switches and routers
• Direct server-to-switch or server-to-storage links in data centers
• Short-reach multimode fiber links up to 30 meters within racks or between adjacent racks
• High-availability network segments where low attenuation and EMI immunity are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 30 meters
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber (active optical cable)
• Form factor standard: SFP+ MSA-compliant AOC
• Monitoring: supports Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when host hardware provides support

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and, if you require digital diagnostics, that the host hardware exposes DDM/DOM data. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is required; the cable is pre-terminated and ready for immediate use. After insertion, verify link status and speed through device management interfaces and perform any required configuration for the connected ports.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode AOCs. Use in environments where SFP+ AOCs are listed as supported by the device vendor to ensure compatibility and access to diagnostic features. For optimal performance, keep connectors and port interfaces free of contaminants and verify firmware or driver compatibility if link training or diagnostics do not appear.
