BlueOptics JNP-10G-AOC-25M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 25m

The BlueOptics JNP-10G-AOC-25M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable SFP+ 25m is a 25-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ male connectors designed for high-speed short-reach connections. It implements 10GBASE-SR Ethernet signalling over multimode fibre with integrated transmitter and receiver modules on each end, enabling direct device-to-device links without separate transceivers. The cable is compatible with Juniper platforms and other systems that support the equivalent Juniper JNP-10G-AOC-25M AOC form factor and SFP+ interface.

Advantages

The design integrates optical transceivers inside the cable assembly, reducing the number of field-installable components and simplifying rack and port management. As a 25-metre multimode active optical cable, it supports low-latency 10 Gbps links suitable for high-throughput interconnects in racks and between adjacent racks. Compatibility with SFP+ interfaces and MSA-compliant form factors ensures interoperability with equipment that accepts SFP+ AOCs. The pre-terminated single-cable solution eliminates the need for separate fibre patching and can reduce connector loss and handling errors.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches and routers within data centre racks
• High-speed links between storage arrays and host adapters
• Aggregation links in enterprise network closets
• Short-reach connections in high-performance computing and InfiniBand topologies

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ (male to male)
• Length: 25 metres
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Transmission standard: 10GBASE-SR compatible
• Medium: Multimode fibre
• Typical use: Short-reach 10 Gbps links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices while the devices are powered according to the vendor’s hot-plug guidance. Ensure ports are SFP+ enabled and configured for 10 Gbps operation where necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; follow standard rack-cable management practices. No separate transceivers or additional patch cords are required for direct SFP+ ports that accept AOC modules.

Usage recommendations

Confirm device compatibility and firmware requirements with the equipment vendor before deployment. Maintain bend radius and environmental conditions consistent with multimode AOC specifications, and avoid excessive pulling force during installation to preserve optical performance.
