BlueOptics H-SFP+AOC10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Aqua

The BlueOptics H-SFP+AOC10M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 10 m Aqua is a 10-metre active optical cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for 10 Gbps short-range links over multi-mode fibre. The cable integrates transceiver electronics in each connector to transmit and receive optical signals according to common SFP+ MSA standards, providing a direct, low-latency connection between network devices. The aqua jacket and ruggedised construction support organised cabling in data centre and enterprise environments while simplifying high-speed interconnects between switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 10 Gbps bandwidth over a fixed 10 m length with SFP+ to SFP+ compatibility, enabling plug-and-play installation in equipment that supports SFP+ AOC interfaces. Integrated transmitter and receiver modules reduce the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, saving rack space and simplifying inventory. The multi-mode optical path and industry-standard connector format provide consistent signal integrity for short-reach high-speed applications while the coloured aqua jacket helps with cable identification and routing in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between network switches and top-of-rack equipment
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage links in data centres
• Short-range high-speed connections in enterprise network racks
• High-throughput fabrics and InfiniBand-compatible setups that accept SFP+ AOC modules

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ (male to male)
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Optical medium: multi-mode fibre (active optical cable)
• Transmission type: short-range (10GBASE-SR compatible behaviour)
• Integrated transceivers: transmitter and receiver in each connector
• Jacket colour: aqua for easy identification

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices you intend to link, ensuring the retainers or latches engage. No additional transceivers or patch fibres are required because the cable houses active optical transceivers. After connection, verify link status on the devices and confirm negotiated speed is 10 Gbps where supported. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Use this 10 m SFP+ AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections inside racks and between adjacent rack rows. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ active optical modules before deployment and avoid repeated hot-plugging to extend the cable’s service life.
