SFP AOC Cable BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-LS-BO 25m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-LS-BO is a 25-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between compatible SFP+ ports. The cable combines a lightweight, flexible optical assembly with factory-terminated SFP+ modules to provide a plug-and-play connection for switches, servers and other network equipment in data centers and enterprise racks. The product colour is orange and the cable is specified for straightforward, short-to-medium reach interconnects where electrical copper cabling is impractical or when optical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

The AOC design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords by integrating SFP+ connectors with a pre-terminated optical cable, simplifying installation and inventory management. At 25 metres, the cable covers common in-rack and inter-rack distances while maintaining 10 Gbps performance and low latency. Its lightweight build reduces cable management strain and the optical medium removes concerns about electromagnetic interference. The factory-terminated ends ensure consistent optical performance without field splicing or adjustment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports on switches and servers
• Data center top-of-rack and middle-of-row interconnects
• Enterprise network uplinks and aggregation links
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Length: 25 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (factory-terminated)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Colour: Orange
• Weight: 0.15 kg

How to use

Ensure both network devices expose compatible SFP+ ports and are powered off or follow hot-swap guidance from the device manufacturer. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches, taking care to align the module correctly. After connection, power on devices if required and verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces. No additional configuration is required for the physical link beyond standard network setup; the cable provides a direct 10 Gbps physical layer connection that relies on the host devices for protocol configuration.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for AOC assemblies. Avoid excessive pulling force on the connectors during installation and secure the cable within racks using appropriate cable management to prevent stress. Confirm compatibility with the host devices' supported SFP+ modules and firmware to ensure proper operation.
