InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP10-30M-BO 30 m

The BlueOptics UACC-AOC-SFP10-30M-BO is a 30 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors at both ends, designed for 10GBASE-SR applications over multimode fiber. It provides a pre-assembled SFP+–SFP+ connection that integrates transmitter and receiver modules to support high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and SDH/SONET links up to 10 Gbps across a 30 metre span. The cable follows MSA SFP+ form-factor guidelines and is suitable for use in switches, routers, storage systems and other networking hardware that accept SFP+ AOCs.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC delivers a factory-assembled optical link that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing insertion loss and the need for connector cleaning. Built to MSA-compatible specifications, the cable supports Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time readouts of voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature when supported by host hardware. Components such as high-quality lasers and integrated circuits are used to improve longevity and stability, and the AOC’s passive fiber path avoids electromagnetic interference.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ module into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure both host ports support SFP+ AOCs and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the device management interface to access diagnostics. Once inserted, the cable functions as a direct optical link; no patching or additional transceivers are necessary. For initial setup, check link status LEDs and device logs to confirm a 10 Gbps link is negotiated and operating correctly.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use the AOC in temperature-controlled racks and route the cable to prevent stress on the SFP+ connectors. Verify host compatibility for SFP+ AOCs before deployment and enable DDM/DOM in supported equipment for remote monitoring of optical parameters.
