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

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-IT-BO is a 25-meter SFP+ active optical cable with male SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Its active optical construction provides low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission across a 25 m reach while maintaining the compact form factor of SFP+ modules. The cable is intended for use in data centers, server rooms and high-density networking racks where reliable 10 Gbps connections are required between switches, servers and storage devices.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers consistent 10 Gbps performance over a 25 m distance while reducing electromagnetic interference and improving signal integrity compared with copper direct-attach solutions. The integrated SFP+ male connectors simplify installation into standard SFP+ ports without separate transceivers. The lightweight, flexible fiber cable allows tidy cable management and can help reduce rack congestion in high-density environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and servers in data centers
• High-speed links between network appliances and storage arrays
• Short to medium reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within equipment rooms
• Environments where reduced EMI and improved signal integrity are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 25 meters
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: Short to medium reach within racks and equipment rooms

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ male connector into the SFP+ port of the respective devices until the latch engages. Ensure connected devices are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported according to the device documentation. After insertion, verify link status and negotiate speed/duplex via the devices' management interfaces if required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors; secure as needed for proper cable management.

Recommendations

Use in equipment with native SFP+ ports and compatible firmware; check device compatibility lists if available. Avoid tight bend radii and excessive tensile stress on the cable. For best performance, keep the cable clean and free from dust at connector points and store it coiled gently when not in use. Do not expose the cable to liquids or extreme temperatures beyond manufacturer guidelines.
