MaxLink 10G SFP+ AOC Active Fiber Optic Cable, 10m, DDM

The MaxLink 10G SFP+ AOC is an active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission in network environments. Featuring a 10-meter length and integrated DDM support, this cable ensures reliable performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It is an ideal solution for connecting switches, routers, and servers in data centers or enterprise networks, providing low latency and high signal integrity.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides a fast and efficient connection between network devices such as switches and routers without requiring separate SFP or SFP+ modules. The integrated active technology minimizes signal attenuation, ensuring stable data transmission over the full 10-meter length. With universal compatibility, the cable integrates seamlessly into most network infrastructures, while the plug-and-play design allows for immediate deployment at speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers in data centers
• High-speed server-to-switch links
• Enterprise network infrastructure upgrades
• Applications requiring low-latency 10 Gbps connectivity

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for use in environments requiring copper-based RJ45 connections, as it is strictly designed for SFP+ optical ports. It may also be unsuitable for applications where the cable needs to be field-terminated or customized, as the optical transceivers are permanently integrated into the cable ends.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multi-mode 50/125 µm (OM2)
• Transmission speed: 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 10 meters
• Interface: SFP/SFP+
• Diagnostics: Integrated DDMI support
• Technology: Active optical cable

How to use

To use the MaxLink 10G SFP+ AOC cable, simply insert each end of the cable into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network hardware. The device is designed for plug-and-play operation, meaning the connection should be established automatically without the need for additional configuration or external transceiver modules. Ensure that the ports are clean and free of debris before insertion to maintain optimal signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports SFP+ optical connections
• Ensure the 10-meter length is sufficient for your rack or room layout
• Check if your equipment requires specific vendor-coded transceivers

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and ensure that the connectors are protected from dust and physical damage when not in use.
