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

Active Optical Cable SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M is a factory-terminated 10 Gbps SFP+ link in a fixed 2 meter optical assembly. It provides a direct, low-latency connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network adapters, using optical fiber to eliminate electromagnetic interference common to copper alternatives. The cable is intended for short-range, high-speed interconnects in racks and data center topologies where a compact, reliable 10G connection is required.

Advantages

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable delivers 10 Gbps throughput with reduced latency and improved signal integrity compared to copper twinax at equivalent distances. Its optical construction provides immunity to EMI and ground loop issues, enables flexible routing through racks, and reduces weight and bulk. As a single assembly with SFP+ connectors on both ends, it eliminates the need for separate transceivers plus fiber patch cords, simplifying deployment and inventory management.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack and shelf-to-shelf 10G interconnects in data centers
• Direct attach between servers and top-of-rack switches
• High-density switch-to-switch links requiring low latency
• Environments where immunity to electromagnetic interference is necessary

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ electrical/form-factor with optical twinax cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 2 meters
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive links
• Cable type: active optical assembly (factory-terminated)
• Connector type: SFP+ duplex on both ends
• Operating environment: designed for data center and rack installations

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to use a 10G SFP+ link; the link should come up automatically if interfaces and speed settings match. For replacement or initial installation, power down ports if required by your equipment vendor, then perform a link test and check interface statistics to verify connectivity and error counters.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid excessive bends and mechanical stress; maintain minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use the fixed 2 m length for short-range runs inside racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances choose an appropriately rated optical solution. Verify compatibility lists for the network equipment in use and monitor link status after installation.
