BlueOptics 10GB-F05-SFPP-BO InfiniBand/kuituvalokaapeli 5 m SFP+ SFP+ AOC oranssi

The BlueOptics 10GB-F05-SFPP-BO is a 5 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends, engineered for 10G high-speed multimode optical links. Designed according to SFP+ MSA guidelines, this AOC integrates transmitter and receiver modules within the plugs and provides a pre-assembled multimode fiber connection that avoids the need for patch cords and manual fiber splicing. The cable supports 10G Ethernet and other optical protocols over short-range multimode fiber and is intended for use in data centers and network racks where reliable, low-latency links are required.

Advantages

The integrated transmitter/receiver design and SFP+ form factor ensure plug-and-play compatibility with SFP+ ports that follow MSA specifications. As an active optical cable, it is immune to electromagnetic interference and reduces signal attenuation compared with many copper alternatives over similar distances. The factory-terminated AOC eliminates patching effort, reduces insertion loss risks from connector mating and provides a compact orange jacket for easy identification in dense cabling runs. Some units include Digital Diagnostics Monitoring (DDM/DOM) support to report real-time parameters such as optical power and temperature, aiding remote monitoring and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet uplinks between switches and servers in data centers
• High-performance switch-to-switch connections within racks or across adjacent racks
• Storage area network links and converged Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connections
• Short-range interconnects in enterprise networks and telecommunication closets

Key specifications

• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Optical mode: Multimode fiber (10GBASE-SR compatible)
• Data rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Form factor: Active Optical Cable (integrated transceivers)
• Jacket color: Orange (easy visual identification)
• Compliance: Designed to meet SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical specifications
• Monitoring: Supports DDM/DOM functionality where host hardware provides support

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the module latches. Ensure that the host devices support SFP+ AOC modules and, if DDM/DOM monitoring is required, that the hardware and firmware can read the diagnostic registers. Route the orange cable carefully to avoid tight bends and strain; follow standard rack cable management practices to maintain minimum bend radius. After insertion, verify link status and speed on both endpoints using device management interfaces or network monitoring tools.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling forces on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. Confirm firmware and hardware compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules in advance if your network equipment vendor enforces module validation. Use the DDM/DOM readouts for preventive monitoring and routine diagnostics in critical links.
