BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-15M-PS-BO InfiniBand glasvezelkabel 15m SFP+ stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-15M-PS-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable is a 15-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ male-to-male connectors designed for 10G applications. It implements a transceiver pair and multimode fibre within a pre-assembled cable to transmit and receive optical signals at 10 Gbit/s over 15 m. The cable follows SFP+ AOC MSA conventions and supports standard high-speed protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet when used in compatible network, switch or storage hardware that accepts SFP+ AOC modules.

Advantages

This 15 m BlueOptics AOC provides a pre-terminated optical link that reduces the need for patchcord installation and cleaning, lowering insertion loss and simplifying deployment. Built and tested to MSA-compatible SFP+ AOC specifications, it includes digital diagnostics (DDM/DOM) support to report parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit output power, receive input power and temperature where supported by the host device. The cable is manufactured from quality components and designed for long operational life and stable optical performance in data centre and network environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between SFP+ ports in switches, routers and storage systems within a rack or between adjacent racks
• 10G Ethernet links and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) up to 10 Gbit/s over multimode fibre for distances up to 15 m
• High-density server and SAN cabling where a pre-assembled AOC reduces cable management and connector contamination

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male (pre-terminated AOC)
• Cable length: 15 metres
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Fibre type: multimode (AOC with integrated transceivers)
• MSA compliance: SFP+ AOC electrical and mechanical interoperability standards
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant (host support required)
• Applications supported: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET-compatible transport within supported devices

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the host hardware supports SFP+ AOC modules. Observe proper handling of the connectors by avoiding contamination of the mating surfaces and ensuring the transceivers click securely into the port. After insertion, verify link status in the host device and, if supported, monitor DDM/DOM parameters to confirm optical performance and environmental conditions. No separate patchcords or fibre splicing is required for deployment.

Recommendations

Use the BlueOptics 15 m SFP+ AOC in environments with short to medium interconnect distances (up to 15 m) where a compact, low-latency optical link is required. Ensure the networking equipment firmware and drivers support third-party SFP+ AOC modules and enable DDM/DOM if remote diagnostics are needed. Store and handle the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the connectors to maintain long-term reliability.
