SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G 1 m

BlueOptics SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G 1 m is a direct-attach active optical cable designed for short-reach 10 Gbit/s interconnects. The 1 meter AOC integrates optical transceivers into a fixed cable assembly that plugs into compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network adapters. Its optical construction delivers low latency and low power consumption compared with comparable electrical copper direct-attach assemblies, while offering a compact, plug-and-play solution for rack-level and data center cabling.

Advantages

The active optical cable provides high-speed 10 Gbit/s throughput with reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity over short distances. The integrated SFP+ transceivers eliminate separate modules and fiber patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing connection points. Low power usage and reduced heat generation make the cable suitable for densely populated racks. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports ensures straightforward hot-plug operation without additional configuration.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Direct connections between servers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• High-speed links between network adapters and switches in data centers
• Patch replacements where fiber transceivers and patch cords are being consolidated

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s full duplex
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated SFP+ transceivers
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector interface: SFP+ form-factor plugs on both ends
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for low-latency applications
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent copper DACs due to optical transmission
• Environment: designed for rack and data center indoor use

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports until the module latch engages. Verify that connected devices detect the link and negotiate 10 Gbit/s operation automatically; no additional transceiver setup is required in most environments. Route the cable within rack channels or cable management pathways to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. For removal, press the latching mechanism and withdraw the connector straight out to prevent connector damage.

Recommendations

Use the AOC for short intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections where a reliable 10 Gbit/s link is needed. Avoid outdoor exposure and environments with extreme temperatures or physical abrasion. Observe the cable minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Confirm SFP+ compatibility with your switch or server documentation if vendor-specific locking or firmware restrictions may apply.
