BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-50M-PS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50m SFP+ Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-50M-PS-BO is a 50 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors at both ends, designed for InfiniBand and 10GBASE-SR applications. It integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end and uses multimode fiber to enable duplex optical transmission up to 10 Gbit/s over a 50 m distance. The cable is built to the SFP+ MSA form factor and supports digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) where the host hardware exposes that functionality.

Advantages

This AOC provides a pre-terminated fiber link that eliminates the need for field termination and patch-cord cleaning, reducing installation time and link attenuation caused by connectors. Compliance with SFP+ MSA mechanical and electrical specifications ensures interoperability with systems that accept standard SFP+ AOC modules. Integrated optical transceivers and high-quality components support error diagnostics via DDM/DOM and contribute to long operational lifetime and stable optical performance.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Storage area network links and storage system interconnects
• Low-latency computing clusters and InfiniBand environments
• Short-reach 10 Gbit Ethernet links using multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 50 metres
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Media type: multimode fibre (active optical cable)
• Supported protocols: 10GBASE-SR, Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, compatible with InfiniBand usage
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472 when supported by host
• MSA compliance: SFP+ AOC mechanical and electrical compatibility

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-50M-PS-BO by inserting the SFP+ connectors into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be linked, following the device manufacturer’s hot-plug and handling guidelines. Verify that both endpoints support SFP+ AOC modules and, if required, enable or confirm DDM/DOM support on the host equipment to access diagnostic telemetry. No additional fiber patching or termination is required; route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments where the installed length does not exceed 50 metres and avoid sharp bends or crushing. Confirm compatibility with the target devices’ supported transceiver list or test a sample in your hardware to ensure full functionality of protocol features and diagnostics.
