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

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-IA-BO is a 25 meter SFP+ active optical cable with male-to-male connectors designed for high-speed 10GbE links. It provides a single-cable solution for direct connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices without the need for separate transceivers. Constructed for data center and enterprise network environments, this 25m active optical assembly reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains consistent throughput over longer distances compared with copper direct attach cables.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports 10 Gigabit per second data rates and offers low latency and power-efficient operation compared with equivalent copper solutions. The integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate modules, simplifying installation and inventory management. The fiber construction ensures immunity to EMI/RFI and stable signal integrity over the full 25 m length. Male-to-male SFP+ connectors provide plug-and-play compatibility with standard SFP+ ports on network equipment.

Suitable for

• 10GbE connections between switches in data center top-of-rack and aggregation layers
• Direct links between servers and storage arrays requiring SFP+ interfaces
• High-density rack environments where compact, low-power cabling is preferred
• Interconnects where immunity to electromagnetic interference is necessary

Key specifications

• Length: 25 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: Short-reach data center interconnects
• Signal medium: Optical fiber with integrated transceivers

How to use

Install the cable by firmly inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and that the ports are configured for 10GbE operation if necessary. No external power or separate optical modules are required; the active elements are integrated within the cable assembly. Verify link lights and interface status in device management to confirm successful negotiation and link establishment.

Recommendations

Place the cable to avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Use in environments within the specified ambient temperature range of your networking equipment, and verify compatibility with device port firmware if vendor-specific interoperatibility lists are used.
