CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-15M-NV-BO 10G, 15 m, SFP+ to SFP+

CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-15M-NV-BO is a factory-terminated SFP+ to SFP+ optical link designed for 10 Gbps connections across a 15-meter distance. The cable integrates active optical transceivers at both ends and eliminates the need for separate SFP+ modules, providing a compact, low-power connection between SFP+-equipped switches, servers and network interface cards. Its design focuses on consistent throughput, low latency and improved signal integrity for short- to mid-range data center interconnects.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable offers native 10 Gbps bandwidth with reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Because it is pre-terminated, installation time is shortened and compatibility issues related to separate transceivers are avoided. The optical construction reduces weight and bulk, simplifies cable management in dense rack environments and can lower power consumption compared with comparable copper DAC links. Low latency and stable signal quality support high-performance network applications.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Switch-to-server links in high-density environments
• Interconnection between SFP+-equipped switches and NICs
• Short- to mid-range 10 Gbps backbone and aggregation links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Length: 15 meters
• Optical cable type: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low-latency link suitable for high-performance networking
• Power consumption: lower than many equivalent copper direct-attach cables
• Signal characteristics: improved signal integrity and reduced EMI compared with copper

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the two devices to be connected. Ensure that both devices support SFP+ active optical cables and that ports are configured for the intended 10 Gbps operation. No separate transceivers are required; the link is recognized by most SFP+-compatible switches and servers as a direct 10 Gbps connection. Route the cable through rack channels or cable management panels to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for optical fiber.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending and physical strain on the cable, keep connectors clean and check compatibility with device vendor policies for passive/active AOC use. Use appropriate port configuration and monitoring to verify link status and performance after installation.
