SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10G 15 m for compatible SFP+ ports

Direct Attach Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M delivers a 10 Gbps optical link over a 15 metre cable for devices with compatible SFP+ ports. The single-cable solution integrates optical transceivers at each end, eliminating the need for separate modules and simplifying short- to mid-range connectivity in data centres, server rooms and switch-to-switch links. Constructed for low electromagnetic interference and stable high-speed transmission, this AOC is intended for uplinks, aggregation and server interconnects where predictable 10 G performance is required.

Advantages

The AOC design provides plug-and-play cabling that reduces installation time and rack clutter compared with discrete transceivers plus fibre patch cords. Optical transmission removes susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and supports consistent throughput at 10 Gbps across the 15 m span. Integrated transceiver ends decrease component count, lower power consumption relative to some copper alternatives, and maintain signal integrity for aggregated links and server connections.

Suitable for

• 10 G uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Short- to mid-range links within racks and across adjacent racks
• High-density installations where reduced cable bulk is important

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Length: 15 metres optical cable
• Connector type: SFP+ compatible plug-in optical ends
• Medium: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Typical use environment: data centre, server room, network rack
• EMI behaviour: optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ compatible end into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and configured for 10 G operation; the AOC is hot-pluggable and should be recognised as an SFP+ link by standard network equipment. Route the cable through rack pathways to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. For best signal integrity, maintain the specified minimum bend radius and keep the cable free from kinks and compression.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your equipment vendor’s SFP+ port recommendations before deployment. Use the cable for links up to 15 m in length and avoid exceeding the published bend radius. For high-density installations, label both ends to ease maintenance and ensure airflow around connected equipment is not obstructed.
