Cable SFP AOC BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-50M-AT-BO 50m SFP+ macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-50M-AT-BO is a 50 m Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, engineered for 10G data transmission over multimode fiber. Compliant with SFP+ MSA specifications, this pre-assembled SFP+–SFP+ cable integrates optical transmitter and receiver modules in each connector, enabling high-speed, low-latency links without the need for separate transceivers or patching. The cable is designed for use in networking equipment that supports SFP+ AOC modules and is suited to rack-to-rack and switch-to-switch connections in data centres and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 50 m AOC offers plug-and-play installation with no manual termination, reducing installation time and minimizing signal loss from connectors and patch panels. Being an optical connection, it is immune to electromagnetic interference and supports reliable 10 Gbps links over the specified distance. Built to MSA standards, the cable provides interoperability with SFP+ ports from multiple vendors and includes digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) functionality when supported by host hardware for remote monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias, transmit power, receive power and temperature.

Suitable for

• Data centre server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects
• High-performance storage area networks and SAN uplinks
• Enterprise backbone links and aggregation layers
• Environments requiring EMI immunity and low-latency optical links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (pre-assembled)
• Length: 50 metres
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-SR compatible)
• Fiber type: multimode optical transmission (integrated transceivers)
• Compliance: SFP+ MSA mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Diagnostics: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support when host supports it
• Colour: red
• Weight: approximately 0.15 kg

How to use

Verify that the host devices support SFP+ AOC modules and DDM/DOM if monitoring is required. With both ends powered off if recommended by your hardware vendor, insert each SFP+ connector into the respective SFP+ port until the latch engages. Power on the devices and confirm the link status through the switch or server management interface. Use host diagnostic tools to read DDM values if available. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Route the cable keeping a minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, keep it away from sources of mechanical stress, and avoid excessive heat. For best results in sensitive or high-availability environments, confirm vendor interoperability and, if possible, test a sample AOC in your exact hardware combination prior to large deployments.
