SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO 74752-1051-BL 0.5 m Male/Female 10 Gbit/s

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO 74752-1051-BL is a 0.5 m hybrid cable that provides a plug-and-play 10 Gbit/s optical connection between compatible SFP+ ports. Intended for short-reach, high-speed links in data center and enterprise environments, this Male/Female cable combines compact form factor with the signal integrity advantages of optical transmission. The assembly reduces electromagnetic interference and cable bulk compared to copper alternatives while maintaining low latency for time-sensitive traffic.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports 10 Gbit/s throughput over a short 0.5 m span, delivering consistent bandwidth for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links. Its optical medium provides immunity to EMI and crosstalk, which helps preserve signal quality in dense rack environments. The compact Male/Female SFP+ connectors simplify deployment in tight spaces and reduce cable management complexity. Being an active solution, it extends the effective reach of SFP+ interfaces while keeping power draw and heat generation minimal.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s connections between SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage systems
• High-density rack environments where reduced cable bulk and EMI immunity are required
• Low-latency links for virtualization, clustering and storage networking

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: SFP+ Male to SFP+ Female
• Transmission medium: Optical fiber with active electronics
• Designed for short-reach applications in data center environments

How to use

Insert the SFP+ Male end into the transmitting SFP+ port and connect the Female end to the receiving SFP+ port on the target device. Ensure that both devices support active optical SFP+ assemblies and that firmware or vendor compatibility requirements are met. The cable is designed for hot-plug operation; handle the connectors by their housings, avoid bending the cable sharply, and ensure rack airflow is not obstructed. Verify link status on both devices after connection to confirm a stable 10 Gbit/s link.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 0.5 m BlueOptics SFP+ active optical cable within typical data center temperature and humidity ranges, avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, and confirm compatibility with the specific switch, server or storage model before deployment. Keep firmware and transceiver compatibility lists up to date to prevent link negotiation issues.
