BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-DL-BO InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel SFP+ 25m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-DL-BO InfiniBand/fibre optic cable SFP+ 25m Male/Male is a 25-metre active optical cable designed for short-range, high-bandwidth connections. With SFP+ form-factor connectors on both ends, this cable supports 10 Gbps class links typical in data centre and enterprise networking environments. Constructed for low latency and minimal signal degradation, it offers a plug-and-play solution for connecting switches, servers, storage arrays and host adapters that accept SFP+ interfaces.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while maintaining consistent throughput over the full 25 m length. The male-to-male SFP+ ends conform to common SFP+ port mechanical specifications, enabling straightforward insertion and removal. Its optical transmission reduces heat and power draw compared with equivalent copper direct-attach solutions and helps preserve signal integrity in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches and routers within a rack or between adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage connections requiring 10 Gbps bandwidth
• InfiniBand link replacement where optical SFP+ modules are supported
• High-density networking environments where reduced EMI and cable bulk are beneficial

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 25 metres
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps class link capability
• Transmission medium: multimode optical assembly designed for short-range links
• Typical uses: InfiniBand and fibre optic SFP+ networks

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ interfaces and are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of your equipment manufacturer. Align the SFP+ connector latch with the port and insert the module until it clicks into place, then secure any captive screws or retention mechanisms if present. Verify link status and speed through network management tools or device LEDs. For removal, disengage the retention mechanism and pull straight out to avoid stress on the transceiver and port.

Recommendations

Use the cable within specified ambient temperature ranges and avoid sharp bends or kinks; maintain minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Keep connectors clean and capped when not in use to prevent contamination. Verify compatibility with device firmware and port transceiver policies if your equipment enforces vendor checks.
