AOC CBO SFP+ Avago SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m active optical cable for 10Gbps SFP+ ports

The AOC CBO SFP+ Avago SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10 metre active optical cable designed for 10 Gbps SFP+ ports. This integrated direct-attach solution combines SFP+ transceivers and single cable optical fiber to provide a low-latency, energy-efficient link between compatible switches, servers and storage devices. The cable is intended for short-reach interconnects where reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity is required without separate transceivers and patch cords.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers plug-and-play operation with a single-piece construction that reduces installation time and simplifies inventory. By integrating transceivers and fiber, the cable delivers consistent 10 Gbps performance with low power consumption and improved signal integrity over copper at similar distances. Its 10 metre length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or row-to-row connections in data centre environments while maintaining low latency and electromagnetic immunity inherent to optical links.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch uplinks
• Server-to-switch connections in rack deployments
• Storage array interconnects requiring 10 Gbps links
• Short-reach links where reduced power and EMI are important

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ on both ends for 10 Gbps ports
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 10 metres
• Active optical cable with integrated transceivers and fibre
• Low power consumption compared with equivalent copper DACs with transceivers
• Low-latency optical transmission suitable for data centre environments

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end of the cable into the corresponding 10 Gbps SFP+ port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Verify link status in the device management interface and ensure both ports are configured for the same speed and duplex settings if applicable. No additional transceivers or patch fibres are required. For hot-plug operations, follow the equipment manufacturer’s guidelines to avoid link flaps or configuration mismatches.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m active optical cable for short-reach interconnects inside racks or between adjacent rows. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the manufacturer’s specified bend radius. Ensure compatibility with the host devices’ SFP+ port requirements and check firmware or vendor compatibility notes if vendor locking is a concern.
