AOC CBO 10Gbps SFP+ AOC cable 200m model 10GE-SFPP-AOC-2001

The AOC CBO 10Gbps SFP+ AOC cable 200m model 10GE-SFPP-AOC-2001 is an active optical cable designed for short- to medium-range high-speed network links. Compatible with SFP+ ports, this AOC offers a 10 Gbps data rate over a single 200-meter fiber connection, providing low-latency optical transmission for links between switches, servers and storage in data centers and enterprise environments. The cable reduces bulk compared with equivalent copper twinax solutions and supports plug-and-play deployment in systems that accept SFP+ active optical modules.

Advantages

The cable delivers 10 Gbps throughput with consistent optical performance across the full 200 m reach, minimizing signal loss and jitter. Its SFP+ form factor ensures broad compatibility with SFP+-equipped network equipment and simplifies installation without additional transceivers. Using an active optical design, the cable maintains low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, while offering a lighter, thinner physical profile that eases cable management in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches within data centers
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage connections requiring 10 Gbps
• Enterprise backbone links and campus network segments
• Environments where reduced cable bulk and EMI immunity are desired

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Form factor: SFP+
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Maximum link length: 200 meters
• Physical profile: lightweight, thin fiber cable designed for high-density routing
• Transmission characteristic: low-latency optical signaling

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the module latches. Ensure that both ends are seated firmly and that the host ports support SFP+ AOC modules. No separate transceivers or fiber termination is required. After physical installation, verify link status through your switches or servers and confirm 10 Gbps negotiation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with standard cable management practices to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor for SFP+ active optical modules and check port settings for 10 Gbps operation. Avoid tight bends below the cable's minimum bend radius and protect connectors from dust when not in use. For permanent installs in racks, label both ends to simplify maintenance and ensure the route avoids sources of mechanical strain.
