Network Cable BlueOptics SFP-XG-D-AOC-30M SFP+ 10GBASE-SR 30m Blue

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-D-AOC-30M SFP+ 10GBASE-SR 30m Blue is a 30-meter active optical cable engineered for 10 Gb/s short-range links. Designed to meet 10GBASE-SR specifications, this SFP+ AOC combines an SFP+ form factor with integrated active optics to deliver high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity suitable for modern Ethernet and Infiniband network infrastructures. The cable supports hot-pluggable SFP+ ports and is intended for patching between switches, servers and storage equipment in data center and enterprise environments.

Advantages

The active optical design reduces signal loss over longer distances compared with copper, while maintaining consistent 10 Gb/s throughput and low latency. Its integrated SFP+ connectors simplify deployment in compatible network ports without additional transceivers. The 30 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections in data centers and server rooms. The lightweight fiber construction improves cable management and reduces electromagnetic interference.

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the matching SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered according to manufacturer instructions and support 10GBASE-SR operation. The cable is plug-and-play with compatible equipment; no separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. Verify link lights and device configuration to confirm the connection and negotiate the expected 10 Gb/s link speed.

Recommendations

Use the cable in indoor data center or controlled server-room environments, avoiding excessive bending radius and mechanical strain. Route and secure the cable to prevent sharp bends and protect connector ends when unplugged. Confirm compatibility with your switching and server hardware for SFP+ AOC support and verify system firmware or driver updates if link negotiation issues occur.
