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

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-3M-IT-BO is a 3 m SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) with male SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for 10 Gbps short-range optical links over multimode fiber. The pre-assembled cable integrates a transmitter and receiver in each connector and follows MSA SFP+ mechanical and electrical standards to ensure plug-and-play operation in compatible SFP+ ports. The cable supports low-latency, high-bandwidth connections for switches, routers, storage systems and other network hardware that accept SFP+ AOC modules.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 3 m SFP+ AOC provides stable 10GBASE-SR performance without the need for separate transceivers or patch cords, reducing signal loss and eliminating electromagnetic interference susceptibility. Built and tested to industry MSA specifications, the cable includes integrated optical components and supports digital diagnostics for real-time monitoring of supply voltage, laser bias current, transmit/receive power and temperature where the host hardware exposes DDM/DOM. The pre-assembled design simplifies installation and reduces maintenance compared with field-terminated fiber links.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbps links between switches and routers within data centers or wiring closets
• Direct interconnects between storage arrays and host adapters supporting SFP+
• High-density rack deployments requiring compact SFP+ to SFP+ cabling
• Environments where immunity to electromagnetic interference is needed

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ male to SFP+ male
• Length: 3 meters
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-SR)
• Fiber type: multimode (active optical cable with integrated optical transceivers)
• Compliance: SFP+ form factor and MSA-aligned electrical/optical interfaces
• Monitoring: supports Digital Diagnostics (DDM/DOM) when supported by host
• Typical application: Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, SDH/SONET up to 10 Gbps

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be interconnected, ensuring the device ports accept SFP+ AOC modules. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is required; the cable is pre-assembled and hot-pluggable. Verify that the host devices enable the SFP+ port and, if needed, allow use of third-party AOCs. If digital diagnostics are required, check that the network equipment supports reading DDM/DOM parameters for the connected module.

Recommendations

Install the cable in a manner that avoids tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Confirm compatibility with the specific switch, router or storage platform before deployment and, if long-term monitoring is required, enable DDM/DOM support in the host equipment to access real-time diagnostics.
