BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC50M-BO InfiniBand optický kábel 50 m SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC50M-BO InfiniBand fibre optic cable 50 m SFP+ is a pre-terminated active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors designed for 10G data transmission over multimode fibre. With a 50 metre length and SFP+ to SFP+ male connectors, this cable delivers a direct optical link between compatible switches, routers, storage systems and network appliances while avoiding patchcord assemblies and connector cleaning steps.

Advantages

This AOC implements transmitter and receiver modules at both ends and follows common SFP+ MSA compatibility guidelines for plug-and-play use in systems that accept SFP+ AOCs. Active optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and enables low-latency, high-bandwidth links up to 10 Gbps across the full 50 m length. Built from selected high-quality optical and electronic components, the cable supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) for real-time parameters such as supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive optical power and temperature.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Storage area network (FCoE) and server interconnects in data centres
• High-density rack-to-rack connections where pre-terminated optical links are preferred
• Environments that require immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+ (male/male)
• Length: 50 metres
• Speed: up to 10 Gbps
• Media: multimode fibre with active optical transceivers integrated
• Protocols supported: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET (up to 10G)
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) compliant with SFF-8472
• Immunity: not susceptible to electromagnetic interference (optical link)

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked. Confirm that the host hardware supports SFP+ active optical cables and, if required, enable or verify firmware settings for third-party AOC compatibility. Use the DDM/DOM function through the host platform to monitor operational parameters and verify link status. No additional patching or fibre polishing is required because the cable is factory-terminated.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Verify that the receiving hardware supports DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is needed. For stability in production environments, test a sample AOC in the target hardware before wide deployment.
