SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M 10Gbps 50m for compatible SFP+ ports

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-50M is an SFP+ active optical cable that provides a 10Gbps full-duplex link over a 50-metre duplex fiber assembly. Engineered for compatible SFP+ ports, this plug-and-play cable combines optical transmission with an integrated transceiver to deliver low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for high-density networking environments such as switches, servers and storage arrays.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports a 10Gbps data rate across a 50 m reach while maintaining low power consumption and minimal signal attenuation compared with equivalent copper solutions. The integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate modules and fiber patch cords, simplify inventory and reduce installation time. Immunity to EMI ensures stable links in electrically noisy racks and data center aisles, and the compact SFP+ form factor preserves port density on network equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch interconnects
• Data center uplinks and aggregation switches
• Storage area network connections between servers and arrays
• Short-reach links within high-density rack environments

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ duplex optical connection
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Maximum reach: 50 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• EMI resistance: immune to electromagnetic interference
• Power consumption: low power design appropriate for dense deployments
• Compatibility: designed for devices with compatible SFP+ ports

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. The integrated transceivers are recognized by compatible equipment for plug-and-play operation; no separate transceiver modules or fiber patch cords are required. Verify link status LEDs on connected devices to confirm the link is established and check device configuration for proper speed and duplex settings if necessary.

Recommendations

Use the cable in rack environments with clear routing to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical cables. For best performance, pair with devices that explicitly support SFP+ active optical cables and ensure firmware is up to date. Avoid exposing connectors to dust; store unused ends with protective caps.
