SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M — 10Gbps, 1 m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M is an SFP+ active optical cable delivering 10Gbps data transfer over a fixed 1 m link. It is engineered for short-reach, high-speed interconnects between switches, servers and network interface cards that have SFP+ ports. The integrated cable-and-cage design removes the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords, providing a compact connection with low latency suitable for dense rack and data center deployments.

Advantages

The active optical cable combines transmitter, receiver and fiber in a single assembly, reducing component count and simplifying cabling. Its 10Gbps capacity supports bandwidth-intensive applications while the 1 m length minimizes signal loss and latency in short-distance connections. The plug-and-play form factor makes installation straightforward and helps maintain airflow and cable management in crowded racks.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between top-of-rack and leaf switches
• Server-to-switch or server-to-server high-speed links
• Network appliance and NIC connections with SFP+ ports
• Short-reach links inside racks and between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabits per second (10Gbps)
• Length: 1 meter fixed cable
• Interface: SFP+ form factor
• Connector type: integrated optical connector for SFP+ cages
• Transmission medium: active optical cable with integrated transceiver components
• Typical application range: short-reach (within rack or adjacent racks)
• Latency: low, designed for minimal added delay compared to copper alternatives

How to use

Insert each SFP+ module end into the corresponding SFP+ cage on your switch, server or NIC until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that the host devices are powered on. The cable is recognized as a direct-attach optical connection and typically requires no manual configuration; verify link status on connected devices and consult device logs if autonegotiation fails. Handle the optical ends and cable gently to avoid damage and maintain bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m active optical cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth links where SFP+ ports are available. Keep the cable within recommended bend radius, maintain clean connector interfaces, and avoid routing near high-heat sources. For mixed vendor environments, verify compatibility with the host device or enable vendor-agnostic support if required by your equipment.
