SFP+ kabel BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-LO-BO 25m stekker/stekker

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-LO-BO is a 25 meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends, engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Designed for short- to medium-range interconnects in rack and data center environments, this cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. Its single-cable form factor reduces clutter and simplifies port-to-port connections between switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

This SFP+ active optical cable supports 10 Gbps data rates with stable signal integrity over a 25 m distance while consuming minimal power compared with equivalent copper-based solutions. The integrated SFP+ male connectors provide plug-and-play compatibility with standard SFP+ ports, offering hot-pluggable convenience. Optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and improves reliability in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch-to-switch connections
• Server-to-switch links in data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• High-speed uplinks and aggregation ports

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) with male-to-male connectors
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps)
• Length: 25 meters
• Transmission medium: Multimode optical fiber with active electronics
• Connector type: SFP+ male on both ends, hot-pluggable
• Typical use: Short- to medium-range data center interconnects
• Electrical characteristics: Low power consumption compared to copper DACs

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ ports and power down equipment only if required by your site procedures. Align and insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port until it latches, then power on or verify link status per your network management tools. Use the cable to connect SFP+ ports directly without additional transceivers or patch panels. Monitor link LEDs and switch port statistics to confirm a stable 10 Gbps connection; firmware or driver updates on connected devices may be necessary for full compatibility.

Recommendations

Install the cable in an environment that maintains appropriate bend radii and avoids tight kinks; secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. For critical links, validate performance with your existing hardware and consider keeping spare cables for quick replacement. Follow data center grounding and handling procedures to preserve optical connector integrity.
