Cabo SFP+ BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-SP-BO 25m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-25M-SP-BO is a 25 meter SFP+ active optical cable designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit connectivity. With SFP+ male connectors on both ends, this single-cable solution links compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices over longer distances than copper DACs while maintaining low latency and signal integrity. The cable is intended for modern data center and enterprise network environments where stable 10 Gb/s links and compact cabling are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers predictable 10 Gigabit performance at a 25 m reach while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its integrated transceiver design simplifies installation by presenting as direct SFP+ modules to connected equipment, eliminating separate module purchases. The lightweight optical assembly improves airflow and cable management in rack environments and reduces power draw relative to longer electrical repeater solutions.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch connectivity in data centers
• Storage area network links requiring 10 Gb/s bandwidth
• Short to medium reach links inside server rooms and comms cabinets

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Link speed: 10 Gigabit per second (10 Gb/s)
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 25 meters
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible
• Typical applications: switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, storage connectivity

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. Verify that connected devices recognize the link and negotiate at 10 Gb/s. No separate transceiver modules or patch panels are required beyond accessible SFP+ ports. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain gentle bend radii consistent with optical cable handling guidelines. Check device firmware and port settings if auto-negotiation does not establish the expected link speed.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments within manufacturer-specified temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid tight bends, crushing, and repeated flexing near the connector ends. Use the cable for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections up to 25 m and verify compatibility with host equipment firmware and vendor interoperability lists when deploying in multi-vendor networks.
