SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10G, 15 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-15M delivers a factory-terminated, single-cable solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over a 15-metre optical link. It integrates SFP+ connectors with an optical fiber assembly to provide a low-latency, low-power alternative to separate transceivers and patch cables. The assembly is intended for direct connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and other network appliances, offering simplified installation and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides native 10G performance with minimal signal loss across the full 15 m length and supports hot-plug operation for quick replacement or reconfiguration. The integrated design eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fibre patch cords, reducing points of failure and installation complexity. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and allows for longer, lighter cabling runs with lower power consumption than equivalent copper direct-attach alternatives.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and spine-to-leaf uplinks
• Server-to-switch connections in enterprise and cloud environments
• Aggregation links and campus backbone segments
• High-density switch interconnects where space and cable management matter

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 15 metres
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (integrated transceiver and fiber)
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Optical medium: active multimode/mode-conditioned fibre assembly (factory-terminated)
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for latency-sensitive links
• Power: low power consumption compared with many copper DACs

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on your switches or servers until it latches. Confirm link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and verify negotiated 10G operating mode in the host device. Avoid excessive bending of the cable and secure cable runs in racks or trays to prevent strain. For troubleshooting, reseat connectors and check port configuration or compatibility in the network equipment documentation.

Usage recommendations

Use this 15 m SFP+ active optical cable for short-to-medium reach 10G links inside data centers or between adjacent technical rooms. Maintain bend radii specified by the manufacturer, keep connectors clean to preserve optical performance, and pair the cable with equipment that supports SFP+ AOC modules for best interoperability.
