AOC Cable BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC30M-BO 30m SFP+ Orange

The AOC Cable BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC30M-BO 30m SFP+ Orange is an active optical cable engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over a fixed 30-meter distance. Equipped with SFP+ connectors at both ends, this AOC delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between network devices. Designed for short-reach interconnects in rack and row topologies, the cable is suitable for data center environments where predictable performance and easy installation are required.

Advantages

This AOC offers low power consumption compared with equivalent copper solutions and eliminates the need for separate optical transceivers, simplifying inventory and installation. The integrated SFP+ connectors ensure plug-and-play compatibility with devices that support SFP+ ports, while the fixed fiber design provides consistent signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. Its orange jacket and compact form factor support tidy cable management in dense racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack or leaf switches within a single rack or between adjacent racks
• High-speed links in data centers and server rooms requiring 10 Gbps throughput
• Short-reach interconnects for storage, virtualization, and cloud infrastructure

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 30 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: Short-reach, rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections
• Jacket color: Orange

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and are powered off or follow hot-swap guidance from the device manufacturer when inserting or removing connectors. Verify link status through device LEDs or network management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed at 10 Gbps. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment vendor.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the connectors where possible, avoid twisting the cable, and maintain proper airflow in racks. For best results, use the AOC within the specified 30 m range and in environments that meet the operating temperature and humidity specifications of the connected equipment. Consult device compatibility lists if using with vendor-specific networking gear.
