SFP+ Cable BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-15M-AT-BO 15m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-15M-AT-BO is a 15 m SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for 10GBASE-SR applications. It uses an integrated transmitter and receiver at each end to transmit optical signals over multimode fiber and follows MSA-compliant SFP+ AOC specifications. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s data rates across a 15 meter link and is intended for direct interconnection of switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices with SFP+ ports.

Advantages

The AOC design provides a pre-assembled, plug-and-play fiber connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers, patch cords and additional cleaning. Compliance with MSA specifications ensures electrical and mechanical interoperability with SFP+ ports from major vendors. Integrated digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) enables real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature for simplified troubleshooting and maintenance. The multimode optical link is immune to electromagnetic interference and offers low latency suitable for high-speed network environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within data centers
• High-speed uplinks between aggregation and access switches
• Direct server-to-switch or storage-to-switch connections
• Short-reach optical links in telecom and enterprise LAN environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ (male) to SFP+ (male)
• Transmission standard: 10GBASE-SR
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 15 meters
• Fiber type: multimode (pre-assembled active optical cable)
• Diagnostic: DDM / DOM support (MSA SFF-8472 compliant)
• MSA compliance: SFP+ AOC standard
• Immunity: not affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI)

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP+ ports that support AOC modules and, if required, that DDM/DOM functions are supported by the host hardware. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches securely. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required. After insertion, verify link status on the connected devices and check diagnostic values via the host interface or management software when available. For removal, unlock the latch mechanism and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging port guides.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive pull force; maintain bend radius consistent with multimode fiber best practices. Use AOC links for short-reach connections up to 15 m in controlled environments such as data centers or equipment racks. Confirm firmware and hardware compatibility with vendor documentation when integrating into existing infrastructure and consider requesting a sample to validate interoperability in critical deployments.
