AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO AOC-SFP-10G-10M-BO — 10 m, 10 Gbit/s

CBO AOC-SFP-10G-10M-BO is a 10-meter Active Optical Cable with SFP+ connectors that supports 10 Gbit/s links. It is designed for direct connections between switches, servers and storage devices in rack and data center environments. The cable uses active optical transceivers integrated into the SFP+ ends to deliver high-bandwidth, low-latency signal transmission while keeping power consumption and electromagnetic interference low.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable offers stable 10 Gbit/s throughput over a 10 m distance with lower power draw compared to many copper alternatives. Integrated SFP+ transceivers simplify installation by plugging directly into standard SFP+ ports without separate modules. Optical transmission reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and provides consistent signal quality across rack-to-rack and intra-rack links.

Suitable for

• High-speed switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage connections within racks
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row cabling where 10 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ connectors (active optical)
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Length: 10 meters
• Latency: low optical latency suitable for enterprise networking
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent passive copper direct-attach solutions

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on your switches, servers or storage devices until the module latches. Ensure devices support SFP+ active optical links and that port settings (speed and duplex where applicable) are configured for 10 Gbit/s operation. No separate optical transceiver modules or patch cords are required; handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends in the fiber segment to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within standard data center ambient conditions, avoid tight bends and kinks, and verify compatibility with device vendor SFP+ port listings. Regularly inspect connector end faces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools if required.
