BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-5M-PS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 5m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-5M-PS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 5m Male/Male is a 5‑meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for 10G data transfer over multimode fiber. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to support low-latency, high-throughput connections in data centers, high-performance computing and network switches. It follows SFP+ MSA mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure interoperability with equipment that supports SFP+ AOC modules.

Advantages

This 5 m AOC delivers 10G data rates while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing connector loss and avoiding electromagnetic interference. Built to MSA SFP+ standards, the cable provides plug-and-play installation, integrated optical transceivers, and Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real‑time parameters such as temperature, laser bias current, transmit and receive power and supply voltage. Components are selected to meet industrial quality standards and extend operating lifetime for professional networking environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP+ ports in switches and routers
• Server-to-switch or storage-to-switch links in data centers
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand topologies
• Short-reach 10G Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 5 meters
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Fiber type: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM): supported (MSA SFF-8472)
• Compliance: designed to MSA SFP+ AOC electrical and mechanical specifications
• Typical applications: 10GBASE-SR, Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, InfiniBand

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-5M-PS-BO by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot‑plug procedures recommended by your hardware vendor. After insertion, verify link status on both endpoints and, if available, read DDM/DOM parameters from the host to confirm optical power and module temperature are within expected ranges. No additional patch cords or external transceivers are required when using this pre-assembled AOC.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable; maintain the specified minimum bend radius. Use in environments that match the operating specifications of your host devices and verify DDM/DOM support when remote diagnostics are required. For highest reliability, keep connectors and ports free of debris and follow manufacturer guidelines for hot-plugging and handling optical modules.
