SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m for 10Gbps SFP+ ports

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10 m active optical cable (AOC) designed to connect 10Gbps SFP+ ports directly without separate transceivers. The cable integrates optical transceivers in a fixed-length assembly, providing a low-latency, low-power link with immunity to electromagnetic interference. Its 10-meter length is suitable for short-range, high-speed interconnects between switches, servers and storage devices within racks and across adjacent racks in data center environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers reliable 10Gbps connectivity with reduced heat and power compared with separate pluggable transceivers and copper DACs. The integrated optical design eliminates the need for individual SFP+ modules, simplifies cable management and reduces port handling. The optical medium ensures stable performance in electrically noisy environments and supports consistent low latency suitable for high-throughput applications.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10Gbps links between network switches
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage connections within racks
• Rack-to-rack interconnects in data centers
• Environments requiring EMI immunity and low-latency links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps per channel
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated SFP+ transceivers
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor plugs on both ends
• Transmission medium: Multimode optical fibre (integrated)
• Latency: Low, suitable for high-throughput networking
• EMI characteristics: Immune to electromagnetic interference
• Typical application: Short-reach data centre interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end of the active optical cable into the SFP+ port of the respective switch, server or storage device until the module latches. Ensure the devices are powered and that SFP+ ports are configured for 10Gbps operation if manual configuration is required. Verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed and duplex. For removal, release the latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid bending the cable near the plug.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use in clean rack environments and avoid excessive compression or kinking. Confirm compatibility with SFP+ host devices and firmware where vendor interoperability guidelines apply.
