SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M 10Gbps 50m

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M is a pre-terminated SFP+ 10Gbps link engineered for short-range, high-throughput connections up to 50 meters. The AOC uses optical fiber and active transceivers integrated into an SFP+ form factor to deliver low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling. Its plug-and-play design simplifies installation between switches, servers and storage enclosures in data centers, server rooms and network closets.

Advantages

The cable provides 10Gbps full-duplex bandwidth over a 50 m optical run while maintaining the compact SFP+ footprint, enabling straightforward direct connections without separate transceivers or patch cords. Built-in optical transceivers reduce signal loss and crosstalk, improve signal integrity, and lower susceptibility to EMI. The integrated design reduces installation time and physical clutter in dense rack environments and supports consistent performance for latency-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Switch-to-switch aggregation and uplinks within a rack or between adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data center and enterprise server rooms
• High-speed storage and SAN connectivity over short distances
• Network closets and equipment cabinets where EMI immunity is required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ plug-and-play optical module integrated into a fixed cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full-duplex
• Maximum reach: 50 meters over multimode fiber within the integrated cable
• Latency: low, optimized for high-throughput, short-reach links
• Cable type: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible modules on both ends
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until it latches. No separate fiber termination or transceiver modules are required. Ensure both ends are compatible with the SFP+ port specifications of your switches, servers or storage devices and that the devices support 10Gbps links. Verify link status using device LEDs or management interfaces and check for firmware or vendor compatibility notes if the link does not come up immediately.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within its 50 m rated reach and avoid sharp bends or strain on the integrated cable to preserve optical performance. Keep SFP+ connectors covered when not in use to prevent contamination. If you require longer reaches or hot-pluggable transceivers with separate patching, consider alternative optics and fiber patch cords appropriate for your topology.
