SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10 Gbps, 2 m, LC connectors

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M is a 2-meter SFP+ active optical cable that supports 10 Gbps data rates and uses LC duplex connectors for short-range high-speed interconnects. It is designed for direct connections between devices with SFP+ ports to provide reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel links while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling. The cable is suitable for structured environments such as data centers, server racks and switch-to-switch connections where consistent high throughput and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers stable 10 Gbps performance over a 2 m distance with low power consumption and minimal signal loss. LC connectors provide a compact and industry-standard interface for SFP+ ports. By using optical transmission, the cable reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, simplifies cable management in dense rack deployments, and avoids issues related to long copper traces or signal degradation at high frequencies.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers
• Short-range Fibre Channel connections in storage networks
• Inter-rack or intra-rack connections in data centers
• High-density network topologies requiring compact SFP+ cabling

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Interface: SFP+ form factor
• Typical use: Short-range interconnects for 10 GbE and Fibre Channel

How to use

Install the SFP-AOC-10G-2M by inserting each LC duplex connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices, ensuring proper orientation and a secure connection. No separate transceiver modules or optical patch cords are required when both devices have compatible SFP+ ports. After physical installation, verify link status on connected devices and configure network settings as needed for 10 Gbps operation.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable for short, high-speed links within racks or between adjacent racks. Keep connectors clean and protect ends when not in use. Confirm SFP+ compatibility with device vendor recommendations to ensure full functionality and link negotiation at 10 Gbps.
