BlueOptics S+AO0020-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 20 m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics S+AO0020-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m SFP+ Male/Male is a 20-metre active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed 10GBASE-SR links over multi-mode fiber. It integrates transceiver electronics at each end to convert electrical SFP+ signals to optical signals and back, enabling low-latency, EMI-immune connections between switches, routers, storage systems and other SFP+-equipped network devices. The male-to-male SFP+ configuration follows MSA specifications for mechanical and electrical interoperability.

Advantages

This AOC supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s over a 20 m multi-mode fiber span and provides a pre-assembled, factory-terminated optical link that eliminates field polishing or patching. The design reduces electromagnetic interference and attenuation common to copper links, while integrated digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) enables real-time reporting of supply voltage, laser bias current, optical output and input power and temperature when supported by host hardware. Components are selected to meet industrial quality standards, supporting long operational lifetime and high mean time between failures.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ module into the corresponding SFP+ host ports until the latches engage. Ensure both devices are powered down or in a hot-pluggable state recommended by the equipment vendor, then verify link negotiation and activity LEDs on the connected devices. If DDM/DOM monitoring is required, enable or query diagnostics via the host system to view supply voltage, laser bias, transmit/receive power and temperature. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends below the specified minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with your SFP+-equipped hardware and that the host firmware supports third‑party AOCs and DDM/DOM if you plan to use diagnostics. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, keep connectors free of dust before insertion, and verify link parameters after installation to ensure expected 10 Gbit/s operation over the 20 m span.
