SFP+ kabel BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-20M-PS-BO 20 m samec/samec

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-20M-PS-BO is a 20-meter SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends. Designed for 10GBASE-SR short-range links over multimode fiber, this pre-assembled AOC integrates optical transmitters and receivers in the cable ends to provide a direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection without separate transceivers. The cable is intended for high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet or SDH/SONET applications up to 10 Gbit/s across a 20 m reach and follows MSA-compliant SFP+ AOC form-factor and signaling conventions.

Advantages

This BlueOptics 20 m SFP+ AOC delivers low power consumption and immunity to electromagnetic interference because it uses optical transmission. The pre-terminated design eliminates the need for patch cords and connector cleaning associated with separate fiber patching, simplifying installation and reducing potential link attenuation. The product is built to industry MSA standards and includes digital diagnostics monitoring (DDM/DOM) support for real-time status on voltage, temperature, laser bias and optical power when the host hardware supports these features.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s short-range interconnects between switches and servers in data centres
• Storage area network links and storage system connections supporting 10GBASE-SR
• High-speed links between routers, top-of-rack switches and aggregation equipment
• Environments requiring low-latency optical links immune to EMI

Key specifications

• Transmission medium: multimode fiber with integrated optical transceivers
• Compliance: MSA SFP+ AOC mechanical/electrical/functional compliance; RoHS and CE referenced

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure the host devices support SFP+ AOC modules and, if required, enable or verify DDM/DOM support in the device management interface to access diagnostics data. No additional patch cords or transceivers are required; simply route the pre-assembled cable to avoid tight bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable, maintain recommended bend radius for multimode fiber, and ensure ports are powered down or the host guidelines are followed when inserting or removing the AOC. Verify compatibility with the target hardware firmware and enable monitoring features only if supported by the equipment. Use the AOC within the specified environmental conditions and maintain clean, dust-free port areas when connecting or disconnecting.
