SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10G 15m for NetApp compatible systems

The SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M is an Active Optical Cable designed to provide 10 Gigabit connectivity over a 15 meter fiber link for NetApp compatible systems. This SFP+ direct-attach solution integrates optical transceivers and fiber in one pre-terminated assembly, enabling straightforward plug-and-play connections between compatible switches, servers and storage arrays. The cable reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and supports typical data center topologies such as rack-to-rack links, SAN uplinks and high-speed Ethernet interconnects.

Advantages

The integrated optical design ensures consistent 10G performance with lower power consumption compared to equivalent copper assemblies. By delivering a fixed-length, factory-terminated optical connection it removes the need for separate transceivers and fiber patching, simplifying installation and reducing failure points. Compatibility with NetApp-compatible systems and SFP+ cages allows straightforward replacement or upgrade without modifying equipment firmware or hardware bays when used with supported devices.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack links in data centers
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches
• Server-to-switch connections requiring low latency
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Short to medium distance optical runs within network racks

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (10G)
• Form factor: SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Cable length: 15 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ direct-connect on both ends
• Media: single-mode or multimode optical fiber within AOC assembly (pre-terminated)
• Power consumption: low compared with equivalent copper direct-attach solutions
• Typical use: short to medium optical interconnects in racks and data centers

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ ports of the host devices, ensuring that the latches engage and the modules are fully seated. Verify link status indicators on both devices and confirm 10G link negotiation in the host operating system or switch management interface. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. No separate transceivers or patch cables are required, as the optical link is integrated within the assembly.

Recommendations

Use the cable within normal data center environmental ranges and avoid excessive bending or crushing. Check device compatibility lists for NetApp-compatible SFP+ optical modules to ensure plug-and-play operation. For critical links, verify firmware and hardware compatibility on both endpoints before deployment and test link stability under load.
