## Summary description

This CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable (model SFP-AOC-10G-5M-IB-BO) provides a 10 Gigabit per second link over a 5-meter optical cable with SFP+ connectors compatible with IBM equipment. Designed for short-range high-speed connections between switches, servers or storage arrays, it reduces electromagnetic interference and simplifies cabling while delivering low latency and power-efficient data transfer.

## Long description

This SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO 10G 5m for IBM (SFP-AOC-10G-5M-IB-BO) is a 10 Gigabit per second short-range fiber interconnect with SFP+ connectors designed for compatibility with IBM networking and server equipment. The 5-meter optical assembly provides a direct, low-latency link between switches, servers, or storage arrays while reducing electromagnetic interference and simplifying cable management compared with copper solutions. It is intended for data center and enterprise environments where reliable, power-efficient 10GbE connections are required over short distances.
Advantages
The active optical cable delivers 10Gb/s throughput with low power consumption and reduced heat generation compared to active copper cables. Optical transmission minimizes susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in dense rack environments. Its SFP+ form-factor enables hot-pluggable installation into compatible ports, simplifying upgrades and replacements without the need for transceivers and separate fiber patch cords. The sealed cable assembly provides consistent performance and a compact footprint for neat cable routing.
Suitable for
 Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches
 Direct server-to-switch or server-to-storage connections in racks
 Data center top-of-rack and middle-of-row cabling
 High-density network deployments where EMI immunity is important
Key specifications
 Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second
 Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
 Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (hot-pluggable)
 Length: 5 meters
 Typical use: Short-range data center interconnect
 Latency: Low, suitable for performance-sensitive applications
 Electrical characteristics: Low power consumption compared to equivalent copper assemblies
How to use
Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on the source and destination devices until it latches. Ensure both ports are powered and configured for 10GbE operation in the device interface settings. The cable is a single sealed assembly and requires no separate transceivers or fiber patch cords. Monitor link status indicators on connected equipment to confirm proper connection and negotiate link speed and duplex automatically if supported by the devices.
Usage recommendations
For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress on the connectors, and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use in compatible SFP+ ports confirmed for the listed equipment family to ensure firmware and compatibility. In high-density racks, label both ends to simplify identification and inventory management.
