SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M 10G 20m for MikroTik compatible

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M is a factory-terminated SFP+ solution that delivers 10 Gbps connectivity across a 20-metre optical link for MikroTik-compatible SFP+ ports. The integrated design replaces separate transceivers and fiber patch cords, providing a single plug-and-play module suitable for short-distance high-speed links between switches, routers and servers. The cable is lightweight and designed to minimise latency while maintaining signal integrity over the specified 20 m reach.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable offers simplified installation with no need for additional transceivers or field-terminated fibres, reducing deployment time and potential compatibility issues. Its low weight and flexible jacket improve cable management in dense rack environments. With a 10 Gbps native SFP+ interface and a 20 m reach, the cable supports high-bandwidth uplinks and server-to-switch connections while maintaining low power consumption and predictable optical performance.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10G links between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-top-of-rack or server-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-speed uplinks in campus and enterprise networks
• Environments where plug-and-play SFP+ connectivity is preferred to separate transceivers and patch fibre

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ 10 Gbps
• Link type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Maximum reach: 20 metres
• Latency: low, suitable for high-speed network links
• Form factor: compact, SFP+ module ends with fixed optical cable
• Compatibility: designed for MikroTik-compatible SFP+ ports and other SFP+ devices that accept AOC modules

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until it clicks into place. Ensure devices are powered and configured to use the SFP+ port at 10 Gbps; most systems will recognise the Active Optical Cable automatically as a native 10G link. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of mechanical stress; the cable jacket is flexible but should be handled gently during installation and maintenance.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable free from tight bends and avoid kinking. Verify firmware and compatibility notes on the networking devices if any link establishment issues occur. Use the 20 m reach for intra-rack and inter-rack connections where a fixed, factory-terminated 10G link reduces installation complexity.
