BlueOptics 10G-AOC-SFP10M-BO Cable de fibra óptica InfiniBand 10 m SFP+ Aqua

The BlueOptics 10G-AOC-SFP10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m SFP+ Aqua is a 10-metre active optical cable designed for high-speed short-range connectivity in data centres and enterprise networks. It uses SFP+ form-factor connectors on both ends and an aqua jacket typical for 10 Gbps multimode optical links, providing a compact, low-latency link between compatible network devices. The cable supports InfiniBand and 10 Gbps Ethernet signalling where SFP+ ports and modules accept active optical cabling.

Advantages

This 10 m SFP+ active optical cable delivers low insertion loss and predictable signal quality over short distances while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fibre patch cords. The pre-terminated SFP+ connectors simplify installation and reduce connector tolerance issues compared with field-terminated fibres. Its lightweight, flexible design reduces cable management complexity and helps maintain airflow in rack environments.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between switches and routers in rack and row topologies
• Server-to-switch links in data centre top-of-rack or end-of-row deployments
• High-speed InfiniBand interconnects for compute clusters and low-latency applications
• Short-reach 10 Gbps links where SFP+ ports are available

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Data rate: supports 10 Gbps signalling and InfiniBand profiles suitable for SFP+ interfaces
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC) with aqua outer jacket
• Form factor: SFP+ compliant, hot-pluggable
• Application: short-reach multimode optical links for data centre environments

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP+ ports that accept active optical cables. Power down equipment only if required by the vendor; most SFP+ ports support hot-plugging of the AOC. Align the SFP+ connectors with the port and insert until the latch engages. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm 10 Gbps or InfiniBand link negotiation as appropriate. Route and secure the cable to avoid tight bends; follow rack airflow and cable management practices.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short in-room links up to 10 metres where low latency and simplified installation are priorities. Avoid exposing the cable to sharp bends, excessive tensile stress, or liquid; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and handle SFP+ connectors by the housing to prevent damage.
