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

The CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-1M — 10Gbps, 1 m is a 1‑metre active optical cable (AOC) engineered for short‑reach 10 Gbps links between SFP+ ports. It delivers a low‑latency, energy‑efficient physical connection for high‑density environments, enabling reliable rack‑to‑rack and switch‑to‑server interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks. The cable integrates optical transceivers with a fixed duplex connector design to simplify installation and reduce space requirements compared with separate transceiver and fiber assemblies.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports 10 Gbps throughput with low electrical power consumption and reduced heat generation compared with equivalent copper direct attach cables at similar distances. The integrated design reduces the number of field components and simplifies inventory. Being an optical link, it is immune to electromagnetic interference and provides stable signal integrity over the 1 m distance, making it suitable for dense rack deployments and short‑reach server interconnects.

Suitable for

• Rack‑to‑rack connections in data centers
• Switch‑to‑server and switch‑to‑switch links using SFP+ ports
• High‑density network topologies requiring compact 10 Gbps cabling
• Environments where lower power consumption and EMI immunity are needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (fixed transceiver ends)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Connector type: duplex SFP+ compatible
• Link type: short‑reach multimode AOC
• Latency: low latency optical transmission suitable for switch and server interconnects
• Power: low power consumption compared with copper DAC alternatives

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the devices are powered and configured to use 10 Gbps operation on the selected ports. No separate transceiver installation or fiber termination is required. If the host equipment validates link partner compatibility, the connection should establish automatically; otherwise consult device diagnostics or link settings for manual configuration.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintain minimum bend radius recommended for AOC assemblies, and keep connectors free of dust. Use this 1 m AOC for short‑reach rack and intra‑rack connections rather than long‑haul runs. Verify compatibility with your SFP+ ports and firmware policies when mixing third‑party optical assemblies in managed switches.
