AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M-LS-BO 10m 10Gbps

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M-LS-BO 10m 10Gbps is a factory-terminated optical interconnect designed for direct connection between SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage systems. This 10‑metre active optical cable supports 10 Gbps data transmission and integrates transceivers in the cable ends to eliminate separate optics, offering a clean cabling solution for short- to mid-range high‑speed links with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This AOC provides reliable 10Gbps performance over 10 metres while keeping power consumption and heat generation lower than comparable copper direct-attach cables with active electronics. The integrated optical transceivers simplify installation and inventory management by removing the need for separate SFP+ modules. The design yields improved signal integrity, reduced EMI sensitivity and a lighter, more flexible cable bundle suitable for dense data centre environments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High‑speed uplinks between network switches or switch-to-server connections
• Interconnects inside data centre racks and between adjacent racks
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links for storage area networks and server clusters
• Network upgrades where space, EMI immunity and simplified optics management are priorities

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form factor, active optical cable ends
• Length: 10 metres
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Physical medium: multimode optical fibre within factory-terminated cable
• Latency: low, suitable for latency‑sensitive applications
• Compatibility: designed for standard SFP+ slots in switches, servers and storage (hot-pluggable)
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ slot on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC connectivity and that firmware or driver requirements are met. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. No separate transceivers or patch panels are required, which reduces installation steps and time.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable for links within the supported 10 metre range and in environments where reduced EMI, lower weight and simplified optics management are desired. Verify device compatibility and hot-swap support before deployment. For rack installations, secure and label cables to maintain airflow and serviceability.
