SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M 10Gbps 7m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M is a 7-meter SFP+ active optical cable that supports 10Gbps data rates for direct-attach connections between SFP+ ports. Designed to connect switches, servers and storage equipment without separate transceivers, the cable integrates optical interfaces at both ends to deliver low-latency, low-power links for short-reach high-speed connections. The product provides plug-and-play installation and consistent performance for data center uplinks, aggregation and server top-of-rack interconnects.

Advantages

The SFP+ Active Optical Cable offers a compact single-cable solution that reduces the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying cabling and lowering power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct-attach solutions. Its active optical design maintains signal integrity over the 7-meter distance, delivering stable 10Gbps throughput with minimal latency. The integrated SFP+ form-factor ensures compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and supports hot-plug functionality for easy replacement and upgrades.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch connections in top-of-rack deployments
• Short-reach high-speed links for storage and compute clusters
• Interconnects where low latency and low power consumption are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 7 metres
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (AOC)
• Link type: duplex optical connection integrated in cable
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for high-performance networks
• Power: low power consumption compared with equivalent copper DA cables
• Compatibility: designed for direct connection to SFP+ ports on network equipment

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the matching SFP+ port on network devices until it clicks into place. The cable supports hot-plug operation; devices should recognize the link automatically without requiring separate transceivers or additional configuration in typical environments. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive mechanical stress, ensuring connectors remain accessible for maintenance or replacement.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach 10Gbps links within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers, and verify interoperability with device vendor compatibility lists where available. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures or environmental conditions outside the equipment specifications and handle the SFP+ connectors by their housing to prevent contaminating the optical interfaces.
