AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G 1m

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G 1m is a factory-terminated, single-cable solution that provides a 1 meter, 10 Gbps direct connection between compatible SFP+ ports. Intended for short-reach links in data centers and enterprise networks, this active optical cable integrates transceiver electronics and optical fiber in one assembly to remove the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. It supports plug-and-play operation with low latency and is suitable for interconnects between switches, servers and storage systems where space and cable management are important.

Advantages

This AOC delivers a compact, lightweight connection with consistent 10 Gbps throughput and reduced signal loss compared with longer copper assemblies. By integrating the optical interface and transceiver, it simplifies installation and reduces inventory of separate transceivers and fiber patch cables. The 1 m length is optimal for short-reach rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, and the active design maintains signal integrity while keeping latency low.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between SFP+ ports in switches and routers
• Server-to-switch links within rack or adjacent racks
• Direct-attached links to storage arrays and SAN equipment
• Data center cable management where compact, reliable interconnects are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ direct-attach active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 meter
• Transmission medium: integrated optical fiber with active transceiver electronics
• Designed for short-reach applications and low-latency links
• Hot-pluggable, plug-and-play operation

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Ensure both ends are seated in compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers or storage equipment. No additional fiber patch cords or external transceivers are required; the link should be recognized automatically by devices that support SFP+ AOC modules. For best results, check device compatibility lists and confirm firmware or driver support when available.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use the 1 m length for short-reach rack or adjacent-rack connections and route the cable to minimize interference and physical stress. Verify compatibility with your networking equipment to ensure proper operation and optimal performance.
