Cavo SFP+ BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-MA-BO 25 m connettore maschio/connettore maschio

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-MA-BO is a 25 meter SFP+ active optical cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Featuring SFP+ male connectors at both ends, this cable enables direct, low-latency links between network switches, servers and storage systems without the need for transceivers. Its 25 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections in data centres and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers high data throughput with low power consumption and immunity to electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable 10 Gbps performance over longer distances than copper direct-attach solutions. The integrated transceiver functionality in the cable reduces the number of separate components required and simplifies installation. Its lightweight, flexible design eases cable routing in dense rack environments while maintaining optical signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres
• Inter-switch links in campus and campus-core networks
• Server to top-of-rack switch connections
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) links

Key specifications

• Type: Active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ male connectors on both ends
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 25 metres
• Connector form factor: SFP+ compatible
• Transmission medium: Optical fibre (single-mode or multimode as defined by manufacturer)
• Typical benefits: Low latency, EMI immunity, reduced power compared with equivalent copper at longer distances

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be linked, ensuring connectors are aligned and fully seated. No separate transceivers are required because the cable integrates the optical transceiver modules. After insertion, verify link LEDs and device port status to confirm that the 10 Gbps link is active. For removal, follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions to depress any retention latch and pull the cable straight out to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. Use proper cable management in racks to prevent strain on connectors. Verify compatibility with your switches and servers' SFP+ ports and firmware; check the vendor documentation if vendor-lock concerns arise. Store spare cables in a dry, dust-free environment and avoid kinking or crushing the fibre assembly.
