SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO CBL-SFP+AOC-1M-BO compatible, 1 m length

The SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO CBL-SFP+AOC-1M-BO compatible, 1 m length is a factory-terminated optical link designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other SFP+ applications. This 1 metre AOC provides a direct plug-and-play connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network adapters, delivering low-latency signal transmission and electrical isolation for improved electromagnetic immunity. The compact, low-profile design reduces cable bulk in dense rack environments while maintaining consistent performance for short-reach data center and rack-to-rack links.

Advantages

The AOC combines the simplicity of a direct-attach solution with the optical benefits of reduced crosstalk and immunity to electromagnetic interference. At 1 metre length it offers predictable latency and consistent throughput for 10GbE and SFP+ compatible interfaces. The pre-terminated construction eliminates field polishing or connector mating, simplifying deployment and reducing installation time. The lightweight optical cable contributes to better airflow and cable management in congested racks.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links inside data centres
• Rack-to-rack connections between switches and servers
• Interconnects for SFP+ ports on network adapters and top-of-rack switches
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

• Application environment: short-reach data centre and rack-to-rack use

How to use

Install the SFP+ Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports until the latch engages. Ensure that both devices recognize SFP+ links and verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; route the cable to prevent sharp bends at the connector boots. For best results, use in matched SFP+ ports rated for 10 Gbps operation and in environments within the manufacturer’s specified operating temperature range.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the SFP+ transceiver management or vendor compatibility list of your switch or server before deployment. Handle the connectors by the housing, keep protective caps in place when not in use, and maintain minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.
