SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10Gbps 2m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M is an SFP+ active optical cable that delivers 10Gbps data transfer over a fixed 2-meter length. It integrates transceiver electronics and optical fiber in a single assembly, enabling direct connections between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices without separate transceivers or additional fiber patch cords. The cable is intended for short-reach interconnects in data center and enterprise rack environments where low latency, low power consumption and simple deployment are required.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces connector count and simplifies cabling management while maintaining 10 Gigabit performance. Low power consumption and minimal signal processing lower latency compared with some discrete transceiver plus patch-fiber solutions. A fixed two‑meter length provides predictable signal characteristics and eliminates the need to terminate or manage separate fiber cables, making installation faster and more consistent across racks and top-of-rack switch connections.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct server-to-switch links in data center and enterprise environments
• Interconnects for storage systems and top-of-rack aggregation
• Environments requiring low-latency 10Gbps links with simplified cabling

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Form factor: SFP+ integrated active optical cable
• Length: 2 meters (fixed)
• Connector interface: SFP+ electrical/optical mating
• Typical use: short-reach interconnects in racks and data centers
• Power profile: low power consumption suitable for high-density installations
• Latency: optimized for low-latency transmission

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector end into the corresponding SFP+ port on network equipment until it latches. Verify that both devices detect the link and negotiate 10Gbps operation according to the devices' port settings. No separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. For best results, power off equipment or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by the hardware vendor if available. Ensure ports are configured for matching speed and duplex where applicable.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short, direct interconnects within the same rack or between adjacent racks. Keep the cable bend radius within manufacturer guidelines, avoid sharp kinks, and route it to minimize stress on the SFP+ connectors. Confirm compatibility with your network equipment and firmware; if a device requires vendor-validated modules, check vendor documentation before deployment.
