CBO 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-50M-TL-BO — 10 Gigabit, 50 m

CBO 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-50M-TL-BO — 10 Gigabit, 50 m is a factory-terminated active optical cable designed for direct connection between SFP+ ports. The cable provides a 10 Gigabit full-duplex optical link over a 50 meter OM-equivalent fiber channel, integrating optical transceivers and fiber in a single assembly. Its low-latency and low-power operation makes it suitable for high-density switch-to-switch, server-to-switch and storage interconnects in data centers and server rooms without the need for separate transceiver modules.

Advantages

The active optical cable integrates optics and fiber into one plug-and-play assembly, reducing installation time and simplifying inventory by eliminating separate transceivers and patch cords. It delivers consistent 10 Gigabit throughput with low jitter and low latency while consuming less power than many discrete transceiver plus fiber solutions. The 50 m reach allows flexible rack-to-rack placements within typical data center layouts. Compatibility with SFP+ ports provides straightforward hot-pluggable connectivity for switches, servers and storage devices.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and aggregation links
• Server-to-switch high-speed interconnects
• Storage area network links requiring 10G bandwidth
• Environments where low latency and low power are important

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (full duplex)
• Connector type: SFP+ compatible plug-and-play ends
• Cable type: Active optical assembly with integrated transceivers
• Reach: 50 meters over OM-equivalent multimode fiber
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-performance networks
• Power consumption: low-power design for reduced heat and energy use
• Form factor: direct-attach AOC for SFP+ ports (hot-pluggable)

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the connector latches. Ensure devices are powered and that ports are enabled and configured for 10G operation according to the equipment vendor’s instructions. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is required; the cable is pre-terminated and should be handled by the connector body to avoid stressing the fiber. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with your switch, server or storage vendor for supported SFP+ active optical cables and check firmware or compatibility lists where available. Maintain bend radius guidelines and avoid exposure to excessive tensile force or contaminants on the connector interfaces. Use in temperature and humidity conditions specified by your equipment provider to ensure reliable 10G connectivity.
