Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m — 10Gb/s SFP+ AOC duplex

BlueOptics CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10 m active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ duplex connectors that supports 10 Gb/s data rates for short-range, high-speed interconnects. The cable integrates optical transceivers into a single assembly, eliminating the need for separate modules and fiber patch cords. It is designed for reliable links between switches, servers and storage devices in data center and enterprise networking environments where low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

The integrated SFP+ AOC design reduces component count and simplifies rack cabling while maintaining a native 10 Gb/s interface. As an active optical solution, it offers immunity to EMI and lower insertion loss compared with copper alternatives over the same distance. The fixed-length assembly provides consistent optical performance and predictable latency, and the duplex SFP+ connectors ensure straightforward hot-pluggable installation into compatible ports.

Suitable for

• Short-reach interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch links in data centers
• High-density networking setups requiring compact, low-EMI cabling
• Environments where transceiver module management and fiber patching should be minimized

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ duplex active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gb/s per channel
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ hot-pluggable duplex
• Transmission medium: multimode active optical fiber
• Typical use: short-range links inside racks and between adjacent racks
• Latency: low and deterministic for short distances

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated in compatible 10 Gb/s SFP+ ports and that devices are powered and configured for the intended link speed. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required; the cable is a single assembly that becomes operational once both connectors are properly installed. For firmware or link negotiation issues, consult the device vendor documentation to verify compatibility and port settings.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Use AOC assemblies for in-rack or short-span connections and verify that network equipment supports SFP+ AOC modules before deployment.
