SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10Gbps 15m

The SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10Gbps 15m is a factory-terminated optical assembly with SFP+ connectors on both ends, providing a 10 Gbps full-duplex link over a 15‑metre optical cable. It is designed for short-reach connections in server rooms, racks and data center aisles where reliable, low-latency 10G links are required. The integrated transceiver electronics and optical fiber remove the need for separate transceivers and fiber patchcords, simplifying installation and reducing component count.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable delivers 10 Gbps throughput with low power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its plug-and-play SFP+ interface supports hot‑swap insertion and automatic negotiation with compatible network equipment. The optical cable construction provides electrical isolation and light weight for tidy rack cabling, while the factory-terminated design ensures consistent optical performance and predictable link behaviour.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G connections between switches and routers within data centers
• Server-to-switch uplinks in rack and top-of-rack deployments
• Interconnections between storage arrays and host adapters requiring low latency
• High-density patching scenarios where space and cable management are important

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps full-duplex
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (hot-pluggable)
• Cable length: 15 metres optical assembly
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fibre with integrated transceiver electronics
• Typical power consumption: low-power SFP+ class implementation
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for time-sensitive applications
• Physical characteristics: lightweight, flexible optical cable for high-density routing

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be linked while the equipment is powered on or off, as supported by the host devices. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the retention latch engages. The devices should detect the link automatically and configure the interface to 10 Gbps where supported. No separate transceivers, fiber patch panels or manual alignment are required; follow standard device interface configuration procedures to enable and monitor the link.

Recommendations

Route the optical cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to reduce strain. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ Active Optical Cables and confirm firmware or driver support when integrating with network equipment. For optimal performance, keep connectors clean and protected from dust when not connected.
