BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-20M-AT-BO InfiniBand optický kabel 20 m SFP+ samec/samec

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-20M-AT-BO is a 20 metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed for 10G data links over multi-mode fibre. Built to MSA SFP+ AOC standards, this pre-assembled cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules at each end to support 10GBASE-SR signals and is intended for reliable short-range interconnections in data centres and networking racks.

Advantages

This AOC provides a fully assembled SFP+ to SFP+ connection that avoids patching and reduces connector-related loss and contamination. Compliance with MSA standards ensures mechanical and electrical interoperability with equipment that supports SFP+ AOC modules. The cable includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality for real-time status of voltage, temperature, laser bias, transmit power and receive power, facilitating remote troubleshooting. Components are selected to meet industrial quality standards, supporting a long operational lifetime and high availability in critical systems.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 10G connections within racks or between adjacent racks
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) links and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• Short-reach connections in data centres, network closets and telecom equipment rooms
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ (male) to SFP+ (male)
• Length: 20 metres
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s

• Compliance: designed to meet MSA SFP+ AOC mechanical and electrical specifications; CE and RoHS directives

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-20M-AT-BO by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages securely. Verify that the host devices support SFP+ AOC modules and, if required, enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the management interface to read diagnostic values. No additional patch cords or fibre termination are needed. For best results, route the cable without tight bends and avoid crushing or excessive torsion.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings when mating or demating, keep the connectors free from dust, avoid sharp bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and confirm hardware compatibility and DDM support before deployment to ensure full functionality and monitoring capability.
