SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO 10GE-SFPP-AOC-0101 10Gbps 1m for SFP+ ports

Active Optical Cable CBO 10GE-SFPP-AOC-0101 is a 1 m, 10 Gbps direct-attach solution for devices with SFP+ ports. The integrated design combines optical transceivers and fiber into a single cable assembly intended for short-reach high-speed links in switches, servers and storage systems. By removing the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching, this cable streamlines connectivity in data center and enterprise network topologies while maintaining reliable 10Gbps throughput.

Advantages

The integrated active optical design offers consistent 10 Gbps performance with reduced insertion loss compared to discrete transceiver-plus-patch configurations. At 1 meter length it minimizes latency and provides a compact, low-profile connection that helps reduce rack congestion. The plug-and-play form factor simplifies installation and decreases the number of components to manage, while optical transmission improves electromagnetic immunity versus copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between SFP+ ports on switches and servers
• Short-reach links in top-of-rack and end-of-row data center deployments
• High-speed storage and SAN interconnects requiring 10Gbps bandwidth
• Environments where reduced cabling complexity and low latency are important

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 meter
• Cable type: Active optical cable (integrated transceivers and fiber)
• Typical use: Short-reach interconnects for networking and storage

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices until the latch engages. No separate transceiver installation or fiber patching is required. Verify link status on both devices and confirm 10Gbps negotiation if auto-negotiation is enabled. For best results, avoid sharp bends in the cable and ensure the connectors are free from dust before insertion.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m AOC for short, high-speed links inside racks and between adjacent rack units. Store and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. When replacing or moving equipment, power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor to prevent transient link faults.
