Active Optical Cable (SFP+) CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M — 10 m 10G for SFP+ ports

Active Optical Cable (SFP+) CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10-metre direct-attach solution designed for SFP+ ports and 10 Gbit/s links. The cable integrates transceiver electronics and optical fiber in a single assembly, enabling short-range high-speed connections between switches, servers and storage devices without separate fiber transceivers or patch cords. Its passive-free active design reduces electromagnetic interference and supports low-latency data transfer in dense rack environments while keeping cabling simple and compact.

Advantages

The integrated construction of this Active Optical Cable eliminates the need for separate SFP+ modules and patch cables, reducing installation time and points of failure. Optical transmission over the 10 m length ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and maintains consistent 10 Gbit/s throughput with low latency. The cable’s compact SFP+ connectors and flexible optical assembly simplify cable management in rack-mounted setups and contribute to a cleaner physical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches at 10 Gbit/s
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage direct links in data centres
• High-density rack installations where cable routing and EMI immunity are required
• Short-range optical connections in enterprise networks and SANs

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor on both ends for 10 Gbit/s links
• Length: 10 metres optical assembly
• Data rate: Supports 10 Gbit/s full-duplex operation
• Transmission: Active optical with integrated transceiver electronics
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-performance networking
• EMI immunity: Optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference
• Cable management: Compact, direct-attach design for high-density racks

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFP+ ports on networking equipment, ensuring each connector is fully seated and the latch engages. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required. After physical installation, verify link status on connected devices and configure network interfaces according to your equipment’s operating system or management interface. For best results, confirm that the devices support SFP+ AOC connectivity and 10 Gbit/s operation.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments where short-range, high-speed links are needed and where electromagnetic immunity and tidy cable routing are priorities. Avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and maintain recommended minimum bend radius for optical assemblies. Store unused cables coiled loosely and protect connector ends from dust when not connected.
