AOC SFP+ cable CBO JNP-10G-AOC-50M 50 m

The AOC SFP+ cable CBO JNP-10G-AOC-50M 50 m is an active optical cable designed for 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports. It provides a factory-terminated optical connection over a 50 metre span, enabling short-reach high-speed links between switches, routers or servers equipped with compatible SFP+ slots. The cable reduces electrical-to-optical conversion complexity by integrating optical transceivers into a single, pre-assembled cable, helping to streamline installation and minimise signal loss and latency in data centre and network aggregation environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports 10G data rates over a 50 m distance while offering lower electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Factory termination eliminates field splicing and manual connector fitting, reducing installation time. The integrated optical transceivers and single-cable assembly provide consistent optical performance and predictable latency characteristics suitable for high-density rack deployments. The cable’s design supports hot-pluggable operation and is suited for environments where weight and cable management are factors.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G links between network switches
• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Aggregation and top-of-rack interconnects
• High-density cabling environments requiring reduced EMI

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ on both ends for 10 Gigabit connectivity
• Length: 50 metres
• Type: Active optical cable (AOC) with factory-terminated ends
• Transmission rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Connector form factor: SFP+ compatible plugs, hot-pluggable
• Cabling: Optical fibre within ruggedised jacket for data centre use
• Signal characteristics: Low latency, immune to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the compatible SFP+ slot on network equipment until it seats and the module latches. Verify link status indicators on the connected devices and configure port settings (speed, duplex, and any required transceiver settings) according to the switch or server documentation. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; follow equipment vendor guidelines for SFP+ modules and ensure firmware or driver compatibility if the host requires transceiver validation.

Recommendations

Handle the active optical cable by its connector housings and support points; avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and keep connectors free of dust when not connected. Confirm that both ends are compatible with the SFP+ ports in use and verify link negotiation after installation. Use this 50 m AOC in indoor, controlled environments such as data centres and server rooms for reliable short-reach 10G connections.
