Cavo ottico attivo BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC-3M 10GBASE-SR 3 m SFP+

Active Optical Cable BlueOptics SFP-10G-AOC-3M 10GBASE-SR 3 m SFP+ is a 3 metre SFP+ direct-attach optical link engineered for short-range 10 Gbit/s connections. It combines SFP+ interfaces with an integrated multimode optical fibre to provide a low-latency, low-power alternative to copper direct attach cables. The cable is intended for high-density environments where reliable 10GBASE-SR performance is required between switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

The integrated optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and signal degradation over short distances while lowering power consumption compared with equivalent copper assemblies. The SFP+ form-factor supports hot-pluggable installation and interoperability with equipment that accepts standard SFP+ modules. Its 3 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections without excess cable slack, and the optical medium provides stable throughput for sustained 10 Gbit/s traffic.

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ cages of the two devices to be connected until the latch engages. Ensure both ports are configured for 10GBASE-SR or set to auto-negotiate according to the network equipment documentation. Verify link status in the switch or server management interface and monitor for errors during initial operation. For extraction, depress the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the connector or port.

Recommendations

Use in short-range multimode environments and avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep SFP+ connector endfaces clean and protected when not in use, and confirm compatibility with the network device vendor’s supported transceivers list to ensure proper operation.
