SFP+ Cable BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-5M-AT-BO 5m Male/Male

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-5M-AT-BO is a 5-meter SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends. Designed for multi-mode fiber optical transmission, the cable supports 10G data rates and follows SFP+ AOC MSA specifications to ensure electrical, mechanical and functional interoperability with SFP+ ports. The pre-assembled cable integrates transmitter and receiver electronics in each connector to deliver optical signals without separate transceivers, providing a compact, plug-and-play link for switches, routers and storage systems in data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and related high-speed protocols, enabling low-latency, high-throughput links over a 5 m reach while remaining immune to electromagnetic interference. Compliance with SFP+ AOC MSA and industry standards ensures broad compatibility with hardware that accepts SFP+ AOC modules. Integrated digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) provide real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit power, receive power and temperature for easier fault finding and remote maintenance. The pre-assembled design eliminates the need for separate transceivers or patching, simplifying installation and reducing potential attenuation from patch cords.

Suitable for

• Inter-switch connections in data centers and server rooms
• Direct links between routers, switches and storage arrays
• High-bandwidth server uplinks and cluster interconnects
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 5 meters
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBASE-SR compatible)
• Fiber type: multi-mode optical link with integrated optical transceivers
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Standards: SFP+ AOC MSA compliant; meets common industry requirements (CE, RoHS, FCC where applicable)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-5M-AT-BO by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Confirm that the host devices support SFP+ AOC modules and, if required, enable or check the digital diagnostics features via the device management interface. No separate transceivers, patch panels or fiber cleaning are necessary since the cable is factory-terminated. For best results, power down ports according to your device vendor's guidance if hot-swap is not supported; otherwise hot-plugging is typically supported with SFP+ ports.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and ensure the network equipment firmware accepts third-party AOCs. Use the digital diagnostics readouts to monitor link health and temperature, and avoid tight bends or mechanical stress on the cable to maintain optical performance and expected lifetime.
