SFP+ AOC cable CBO model SFP-AOC-10G-20M for 10G connections, 20 m

Passive AOC SFP+ cable CBO model SFP-AOC-10G-20M provides a 10 Gigabit optical connection over a 20-metre active optical cable designed for SFP+ ports. The cable supports low-latency, high-throughput links between switches, servers and storage devices and is intended for short-to-medium reach interconnects in data center racks and network rooms. Its compact SFP+ connector form factor preserves port density while delivering a single-cable solution for 10G connectivity.

Advantages

This SFP+ AOC cable offers predictable 10G performance with minimal signal degradation across a 20 m length, reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives, and a lighter, more flexible cable body for easier routing in dense installations. The integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate optical modules and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports enables straightforward replacement or upgrade of existing copper or fiber links.

Suitable for

• 10G uplinks between switches in data centre and campus aggregation
• Connections between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Storage area network (SAN) short-to-medium reach links
• Network upgrades where port density and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP+ compliant)
• Length: 20 metres
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber within AOC assembly
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Connector type: SFP+ plugs on both ends
• Power consumption: typical for passive/active AOC SFP+ assemblies (low)

How to use

Install the SFP+ AOC cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and compatible with SFP+ AOC assemblies; link negotiation and speed settings are usually handled automatically by connected devices. Route the cable carefully through rack pathways to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; secure with cable ties or routing arms where appropriate. Monitor link status via switch or server management interfaces after installation.

Recommendations

Use this 20 m SFP+ AOC cable in structured cabling within racks and between adjacent racks where active optical links provide improved EMI immunity and simplified cable management. Avoid sharp bends near connectors, and follow vendor guidance for supported platforms to ensure full compatibility. For longer runs or differing port types, consider other optical transceivers or cabling solutions.
