Active Optical Cable SFP+ DeLOCK 86642 7 m

The Active Optical Cable SFP+ DeLOCK 86642 7 m is a fibre optic direct-attach cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for high-speed 10 Gbps links between network devices. It allows connection of servers, switches and routers over longer distances than copper DACs while maintaining signal integrity. The cable is lightweight and flexible to simplify routing in compact racks and network cabinets.

Advantages

The cable supports 10 Gbps data rates over a 7 m reach with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. SFP+ form-factor connectors provide hot-pluggable compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches and network equipment. The flexible optical assembly eases installation in confined spaces and reduces cable bulk.

Suitable for

• Connecting two Ethernet switches with SFP+ ports
• Linking servers to switches or routers at 10 Gbps
• High-speed connections in data centres and rack installations
• Replacing longer copper DACs to avoid signal degradation
