SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M Radware 10G 7m

The SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M Radware 10G 7m is a 7-metre active optical cable designed for 10 Gigabit links between SFP+ ports. Intended for connections between switches, servers and storage equipment, this AOC provides fibre-optic transmission over a fixed-length cable assembly with integrated transceivers. Compared with copper direct attach solutions, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and supports low-latency 10G connectivity suitable for data centre and high-performance networking environments.

Advantages

This SFP+ AOC offers a pre-terminated, factory-tested optical connection that simplifies short-reach 10G deployments without separate transceiver modules and patch cords. The integrated design reduces installation time and potential connector loss, while the active optical nature enables reliable signal integrity over the 7 m length. Labelling aligned with Radware and branding by BlueOptics ensures compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and clear identification in rack environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit links between SFP+ ports on switches
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch connections in racks
• Data centre top-of-rack and aggregation layer cabling
• Network upgrades where low EMI and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ plug-to-plug active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 7 metres
• Transmission medium: optical fibre (active)
• Applications: short-reach 10G interconnects in racks and enclosures

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the module latches. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC connectivity and that ports are configured for 10G operation. The cable is plug-and-play in most environments and does not require separate transceivers or fibre patching. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends near the termination to preserve optical performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, verify device compatibility with SFP+ AOC assemblies and check port settings after installation. Maintain bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, route the cable to avoid mechanical strain, and use appropriate labelling in racks to reflect the Radware-labelled BlueOptics assembly. For critical links, test throughput and error rates after installation to confirm 10G connectivity.
