SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10G 10 meters for SFP+ ports

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ Active Optical Cable with a fixed 10 metre length, designed for direct connection between SFP+ ports. The assembly integrates optics and cable in a single module to provide a compact, low-power link over multimode fiber for short-reach interconnects. It supports 10 Gbps data rate with low latency and simplifies cabling by eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords in high-density installations.

Advantages

The active optical cable offers a single-piece solution that reduces component count and rack space compared with separate transceivers and patch cables. Its fixed 10 m length removes uncertainty in link planning and ensures predictable signal performance for short-reach connections. The AOC provides low power consumption and low latency suitable for aggregated server links and switch interconnects. Being a multimode optical assembly, it also reduces electromagnetic interference concerns common to copper cabling.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row trunking
• Server-to-switch high-speed links
• Switch-to-switch aggregation within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-density network equipment with SFP+ ports

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ plug-and-play connectors for direct insertion into SFP+ ports
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (10 Gbps)
• Length: 10 metres fixed
• Fiber type: Multimode optical link integrated in the cable assembly
• Latency: Low, suitable for latency-sensitive short links
• Power consumption: Low-power active modules integrated in the cable ends
• Operating environment: Designed for indoor data center and equipment room use

How to use

Install the SFP+ Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP+ connector firmly into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the module latches. Ensure both ends are seated and that the connected devices recognize a 10 Gbps link. No separate optical transceivers or patch cords are required. Handle the cable ends by the connector housings and avoid tight bends along the cable length; follow standard ESD precautions when inserting or removing the modules.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable in indoor rack and cabinet environments, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat, and maintain bend radii consistent with multimode optical assemblies. Verify compatibility with device vendor SFP+ port specifications and firmware if vendor-lock checks are present. For rack planning, reserve 10 m routing distance and maintain clear airflow around equipment to ensure stable operation.
