SFP+ Cable BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-2M-PS-BO 2m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-2M-PS-BO is a 2 m SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) with male SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for short-reach high-speed links, the cable implements 10GBASE-SR signaling over multimode fiber with integrated transmitters and receivers in the SFP+ housings. It complies with SFP+ AOC MSA electrical and mechanical interfaces and is intended for direct connection between SFP+ ports in switches, routers, storage systems and other network devices that support SFP+ AOCs.

Advantages

The active optical design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing connector loss and sensitivity to electromagnetic interference. Built to industry MSA specifications, the cable supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels and includes digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support where host hardware provides access. Using multimode fiber optics, it delivers low latency and consistent 10 Gbps throughput across the 2 m link length.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports in data center switches and top-of-rack devices
• Short-reach links between servers and storage arrays
• High-bandwidth uplinks and aggregation connections at 10 Gbps
• Environments requiring EMI-immune fiber connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ (male) to SFP+ (male)
• Length: 2 meters
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-SR)
• Medium: multimode active optical cable
• MSA compliance: SFP+ AOC electrical and mechanical interface
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support if host enabled
• Designed for short-reach, low-latency optical links

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure the host devices support SFP+ active optical cables and, if required, enable DDM/DOM access in the device management interface to read transmitter and receiver parameters. No additional fiber patching or transceiver modules are necessary; the cable is pre-assembled and ready for immediate use once seated correctly in the ports.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the specific hardware platform and firmware version before deployment and confirm that the receiving equipment supports SFP+ AOCs and DDM/DOM if you need diagnostic monitoring. Avoid tight bends near the connector region and secure routing to prevent mechanical stress. For optimal performance, use the cable for short-reach multimode links up to 2 m and follow device vendor guidance for SFP+ module handling.
