CBO AOC cable PAN-QSFP-AOC-10M-BO 10 m for QSFP ports, active optical cable

The CBO AOC cable PAN-QSFP-AOC-10M-BO is a 10 m active optical cable designed for QSFP ports. It provides fiber-optic connectivity for network equipment supporting QSFP interfaces, enabling high-speed links with low electromagnetic interference. The cable is intended for short-range interconnects in data centers and server rooms, offering consistent signal integrity and low latency for switch-to-switch, switch-to-router and switch-to-server connections.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference while maintaining high bandwidth and low latency. A 10 m length allows flexible rack-to-rack or aisle connections without the need for transceivers or separate fiber patch cords. The integrated QSFP form-factor ensures plug-and-play compatibility with equipment supporting QSFP AOC modules and simplifies installation and cable management in dense networking environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range data center interconnects between switches and routers
• Server uplinks requiring QSFP connectivity
• High-throughput links in consolidation and top-of-rack deployments
• Environments that require low-latency optical connections with reduced EMI

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP-compatible integrated active optical cable
• Length: 10 meters
• Transmission medium: multimode active optical link
• Typical use: short-range interconnects in data centers and network racks
• Performance: designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency links with low electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP end into the corresponding QSFP ports on your networking devices until the connector latch engages. Ensure compatible QSFP ports and matching interface settings on connected equipment before powering the devices. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain recommended bend radius for optical assemblies. After connection, verify link status through device indicators or network management software and monitor for stable throughput.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m active optical cable for short-range links inside racks and between adjacent racks. Avoid repeated tight bending and protect connector ends from contamination when not in use. Match the cable to QSFP-capable ports and verify optical settings in device firmware for optimal performance.
