Netwerkkabel BlueOptics SFP-XG-D-AOC-5M SFP+ 10GBASE-SR 5 meter blauw

The BlueOptics SFP-XG-D-AOC-5M is a 10GBASE-SR SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) designed for short-reach, high-speed connections in network and server environments. At 5 meters in length and finished in blue for easy identification, the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and comparable high-bandwidth interfaces, providing reliable signal integrity and low latency for data center, switch-to-switch, and server-to-switch links.

Advantages

This SFP+ active optical cable combines plug-and-play simplicity with the transmission performance required for 10GBASE-SR links. Its integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate modules and fiber patch cords, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. The fixed 5 m length and bright blue jacket simplify cable management and visual tracing in densely populated racks. The solution offers consistent signal quality over short distances with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives.

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFP+ ports on your switches, servers or network adapters. Ensure that devices are powered down or ports are in an appropriate hot-swap state according to the equipment manufacturer's guidance before insertion or removal. Verify link status and negotiated speed through the device management interface after connecting. Cable length is fixed at 5 m, so plan routing to avoid excess strain or tight bends that could impair performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within data center environments for short-reach links and avoid running it alongside high-EMI sources. Confirm compatibility with your equipment vendor's supported list for SFP+ AOC modules when precise interoperability information is required. Store and handle the cable to prevent contamination of connector endfaces and avoid exceeding the manufacturer's recommended bend radius.
