SFP+ active optical cable CBO for Ubiquity Networks SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10Gbps 2m

The SFP+ active optical cable CBO for Ubiquity Networks SFP-AOC-10G-2M is a factory-terminated 2-meter AOC assembly that provides a 10Gbps full-duplex link between SFP+ ports. Designed for direct device-to-device connections in switches, servers and storage, this active optical cable replaces separate transceivers and fiber patch cords to simplify rack cabling and reduce insertion points. The cable uses an integrated optical transceiver and multimode fiber within a single, lightweight assembly to maintain signal integrity over short distances while lowering latency compared with longer copper or electrical twinax solutions.

Advantages

This SFP+ AOC offers plug-and-play installation with hot-swappable SFP+ connectors, eliminating the need for field termination or separate LC patching. The integrated design reduces cabinet clutter and decreases power consumption relative to discrete optical modules plus patch leads. Its 2-meter length is optimized for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, and the active optical elements provide stable 10Gbps performance with consistent signal quality and reduced electromagnetic interference risk compared to copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10GbE connections between switches and top-of-rack devices
• Server-to-switch uplinks in data center racks
• Storage array interconnects requiring 10Gbps bandwidth
• Environments where simplified cabling and reduced latency are priorities

Key specifications

• Nominal link speed: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ electrical interface with integrated optical assembly
• Transmission medium: multimode optical assembly with active transceiver electronics
• Typical use: direct device-to-device connections within racks or between adjacent racks

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices until the latch engages; no additional configuration is required for basic link establishment when used with compatible SFP+ ports. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and ensure both ends use matching 10GbE settings. Avoid sharp bends in the cable and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer to preserve optical performance. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable in temperature-controlled rack environments and route it to minimize stress and interference. Confirm firmware or compatibility notes for Ubiquity Networks devices if strict vendor validation is required, and choose the 2 m active optical cable for short-range high-bandwidth links where reduced cabling complexity and lower latency are desired.
