Lightwin 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) 10m, MSA Compliant, Low Power LWO-AOC-SFPP-10M

In high-density data centers, server racks often sit far apart, and copper cables simply cannot maintain 10G speeds over longer distances. Network engineers rely on the Lightwin 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable to bridge that gap. This 10-meter AOC connects switches, servers, and storage arrays with full 10 Gigabit Ethernet throughput, immune to electromagnetic interference. Because the transceivers are permanently attached, there are no separate modules to misplace or damage—just plug both ends into SFP+ ports and the link comes up instantly.

Key specifications

• Connector: SFP+ to SFP+ (fixed, non-removable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 10 meters
• Protocol: 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel
• Power consumption: <1W per end
• Voltage: 3.3V
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Compliance: RoHS, CE, FCC, MSA

Why choose it

Active optical cables use fiber inside, so they are far lighter and more flexible than copper DACs of the same length. The optical transmission also eliminates crosstalk and EMI, ensuring a stable link even in electrically noisy environments. With ultra-low latency and hot-pluggable design, this cable simplifies maintenance and upgrades without downtime.

Ideal use cases

• Data center top-of-rack to end-of-row connections
• Server-to-server links in clustered computing
• Storage area networks (SAN) and Fibre Channel fabrics
• High-speed interconnects in enterprise wiring closets

Good to know

The cable is MSA compliant, meaning it works with any standard SFP+ port from major vendors. The PVC jacket is durable yet flexible, and the cable is RoHS compliant. For longer distances, consider active optical cables over copper to maintain signal integrity.
