SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m, LC connector, 10 Gbps

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10 metre SFP+ active optical cable with LC connectors engineered to support 10 Gbps links. Intended for short- to medium-reach high-speed interconnects, the cable connects switches, servers and storage with the performance required in modern data centres and enterprise networks. The active optical design reduces power consumption and heat compared with equivalent copper direct-attach cables while maintaining low latency and consistent signal integrity over the specified distance.

Advantages

The cable offers a lightweight, flexible connection with immunity to electromagnetic interference and stable 10 Gbps throughput. Integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP+ modules and reduce component count at each end of the link. Compared with copper DACs, the active optical construction provides lower insertion loss over 10 m and supports longer, cleaner runs in densely packed racks and cable channels.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and leaf-spine connections in data centres
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch high-speed links
• Connections between storage arrays and host systems requiring 10 Gbps
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Connector type: LC duplex connectors
• Nominal length: 10 m
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Transmission medium: multimode optical link (active)
• Typical use: short- to medium-reach interconnects up to 10 m
• Operating characteristics: low latency, immunity to EMI, reduced power compared with copper DACs

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on your network devices until it clicks into place, ensuring the LC duplex connectors are clean and properly latched. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; follow device vendor guidance for supported cable orientations and port compatibility. No external transceivers or additional optical modules are required because the active transceivers are built into the cable ends. After physical installation, verify link status and negotiated speed via switch or server management interfaces.

Usage recommendations

Before installation, inspect LC connector endfaces and clean if necessary using approved fibre-optic cleaning tools. Maintain the cable bend radius within manufacturer-recommended limits, avoid kinking, and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. Use this active optical cable for reliable 10 Gbps links where low latency and reduced EMI are priorities; consult equipment compatibility lists if the network hardware enforces vendor-specific checks.
