CBO AOC SFP+ Ubiquity Networks SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m active optical cable for 10Gbps SFP+ ports

The CBO AOC SFP+ Ubiquity Networks SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m active optical cable is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution designed for 10 Gbps links between compatible SFP+ ports. The cable integrates two SFP+ connectors with an optical fiber assembly and active electronics to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity for short-reach interconnects in network racks, server rooms and storage arrays.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers the transmission performance of fiber with the convenience of a direct-attach module, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch fiber. The 10 m length enables flexible placement of network equipment across adjacent racks or within larger rack groups while maintaining 10 Gbps throughput and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Hot-pluggable SFP+ form-factor connectors simplify installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage interconnects in data centers
• Short-reach connections where low latency and high bandwidth are required
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference where optical links are preferred

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ (active optical cable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps per link
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable
• Transmission medium: optical fiber with integrated active electronics
• Typical use: short-reach interconnects in rack and data center environments

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding 10 Gbps SFP+ port on the devices to be linked. Ensure devices are powered and ports are enabled; the active electronics within the cable negotiate link parameters automatically with compatible SFP+ ports. Avoid sharp bends near the cable ends and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. For initial deployment, verify link status on both devices and confirm 10 Gbps operation through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable for direct 10 Gbps connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where a 10 m reach is sufficient. Confirm compatibility with your network equipment's SFP+ port vendor restrictions before installation and handle connectors with care to avoid contamination. For optimal performance, route the cable to minimize mechanical stress and maintain gentle bend radii recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
