SFP+ AOC copper twinax cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M-QN-BO 10 m for SFP+ ports

The SFP+ AOC copper twinax cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M-QN-BO 10 m for SFP+ ports is a direct-attach transceiver cable designed for 10 Gbps short-reach links. This fixed-length active cable integrates compact SFP+ connectors at both ends for direct connection between SFP+ ports on servers, switches and storage devices. With a 10 meter reach it supports common rack-to-rack and within-rack interconnects while keeping latency low and installation quick through a plug-and-play form factor.

Advantages

The active twinax design reduces signal loss over the 10 m link and eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules and fiber jumpers, simplifying cable management. The SFP+ form factor is compatible with standard SFP+ ports and helps maintain a compact rack layout. Its fixed length and integrated connectors provide predictable performance and lower latency compared with longer copper or optical splicing solutions.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack 10 Gbps connections in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch uplinks within the same room
• Storage system interconnects requiring reliable short-reach links
• Environments where plug-and-play SFP+ connectivity and compact cabling are preferred

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (compact form factor)
• Length: 10 meters
• Medium: active copper twinax cable
• Reach category: short-reach interconnect (within rack / adjacent racks)
• Designed for low latency and direct-attach applications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the connectors are oriented correctly and latched. No additional configuration or transceiver modules are required for basic link establishment; the cable is recognized by standard SFP+ interfaces and will establish a 10 Gbps link when both endpoints support that rate. Verify link status on the connected devices and secure the cable routing to avoid excessive bending or strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and keep the cable within recommended bend radius. Use this cable for short-reach connections up to 10 m; for longer distances consider optical transceivers and fiber. Confirm compatibility with your equipment vendor and firmware when used in environments with vendor-restricted SFP+ port policies.
