SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M-NV-BO 10 Gbps, 50 m, SFP+ to SFP+

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M-NV-BO is an SFP+ active optical cable that provides 10 Gbps connectivity over a maximum distance of 50 meters. Built as a pre-terminated SFP+ to SFP+ link, the cable is intended for direct connections between switches, servers and storage devices in data centers and enterprise network environments. The active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and supports low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer for short-reach interconnects.

Advantages

The active optical cable offers a compact, lightweight form factor with plug-and-play SFP+ connectivity that simplifies cabling and installation. Because it is pre-terminated, there is no field termination required, which speeds deployment and reduces installation errors. Optical transmission eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and supports consistent performance across the full 50 m distance. The SFP+ interface maintains compatibility with standard SFP+ ports for straightforward integration into existing network equipment.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and middle-of-row switch-to-switch connections
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency links
• Data center patching where EMI immunity and cable density matter

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Maximum reach: 50 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC), pre-terminated
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Electromagnetic characteristics: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper twinax

How to use

Install the CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M-NV-BO by inserting each SFP+ plug into the SFP+ port of the network devices to be connected. Ensure both devices support 10 Gbps SFP+ links and that ports are enabled in the device configuration. No additional transceivers, fiber connectors, or cable termination are required. Verify link status and speed through device management interfaces and check for any required driver or firmware updates on the connected equipment.

Recommendations

Place the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; follow the minimum bend radius recommended for AOC assemblies. Use this active optical cable for short-reach 10 Gbps connections in controlled environments such as data centers or server rooms. For long-distance links or mixed-vendor interoperability concerns, confirm compatibility with the specific network equipment manufacturer.
