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

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M is a 2-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors designed to deliver 10 Gbps point-to-point links between devices equipped with SFP+ ports. The cable integrates optical transceivers and fiber in a single assembly, offering a compact alternative to separate SFP+ modules and patch cords. Intended for short-reach interconnects in racks and data centers, this AOC provides low latency and consistent bandwidth for switch-to-switch, server-to-switch and storage interconnects while simplifying cable management.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces the number of field components by combining transceivers and fiber in one pre-terminated cable, which simplifies installation and reduces potential points of failure. With a 2 m fixed length and SFP+ compatibility, the cable minimizes cable clutter in rack environments and ensures predictable optical performance without field polishing or connector mating. Its active optical technology supports high data rates with low power consumption and stable signal integrity over short distances.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch interconnects
• Server to switch uplinks in data center racks
• Direct connections between storage arrays and host adapters
• High-density patching scenarios where space and airflow matter

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 2 m (fixed)
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive links
• Form factor: compact, pre-terminated cable assembly

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the two devices to be connected, ensuring the connector latches are fully engaged. No separate transceivers or fibre patch cords are required. Verify link LEDs and device interfaces for a successful negotiated 10 Gbps connection. For removal, press the latch and gently withdraw the connector to avoid stressing the cable or port.

Recommendations

Use the 2 m AOC for short-reach, within-rack or adjacent-rack connections where a fixed-length, low-latency 10 Gbps link is required. Avoid sharp bends near the connector heads and maintain recommended bend radius for optical assemblies. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and ensure firmware or vendor compatibility lists if using equipment with vendor-specific optics checks.
