Cabo SFP+ BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-3M-AT-BO 3 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-3M-AT-BO is a 3 meter SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) with male SFP+ connectors on both ends. Designed for 10GBASE-SR applications, this pre-assembled multimode optical link provides a direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection for high-speed data transmission in data centers and enterprise networks. The cable integrates transmitter and receiver modules on each end and conforms to SFP+ MSA electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure interoperability with devices that support SFP+ AOCs.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC delivers a factory-terminated optical connection that reduces the need for patch cords and on-site splicing, simplifying installation and maintenance. The active optical design supports low-latency, high-bandwidth links up to 10 Gbit/s over a 3 m length and is compatible with common 10G protocols such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet when used in supported hardware. The cable includes digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM/DOM) functionality where supported by the host device, enabling real-time monitoring of parameters such as temperature, supply voltage, transmitted and received optical power, and laser bias current.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s connections between switches and servers in racks and adjacent rack rows
• Interconnects in data centers and server rooms requiring low-latency optical links
• High-density network deployments that use SFP+ ports for uplinks and server connectivity

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cable
• Length: 3 meters
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Application: 10GBASE-SR multimode optical transmission
• Monitoring: Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM/DOM) supported when host hardware provides access
• Cable type: factory-terminated multimode optical AOC (pre-assembled)

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-3M-AT-BO by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and the 10GBASE-SR protocol. Verify DDM/DOM support in the host system if real-time monitoring is required. No additional transceivers, patching, or fiber terminations are necessary for use; the cable is ready for plug-and-play operation when used with compatible hardware.

Recommendations

Use the cable in enclosed rack environments or cable trays to minimize mechanical stress and avoid sharp bends; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Confirm host device compatibility with SFP+ AOCs and enable DDM/DOM monitoring in the management interface when available. For inventory and service planning, keep cables at accessible lengths and avoid excessive cable strain at connector points.
