Aktívny optický kábel (AOC) CBO 10G 5m pre SFP+ kompatibilný s Ciena

The Active Optical Cable (AOC) CBO 10G 5m for SFP+ Ciena compatible is a 5-metre SFP+ form-factor cable that provides 10 Gbps short-reach optical connectivity between compatible SFP+ ports. Designed for use with Ciena equipment, this AOC integrates optical transceivers and a multimode fiber link into a single plug-and-play assembly. The cable delivers low latency, immunity to electromagnetic interference and reduced weight compared with copper alternatives, making it suitable for high-density rack and data center environments.

Advantages

This 10G AOC offers a compact SFP+ interface with integrated optics that eliminate the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The assembly provides predictable optical performance over the specified distance and requires no external power or configuration, enabling rapid deployment. Its lightweight fiber construction reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in racks, while optical signalling provides resistance to EMI, helping maintain signal integrity in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbps connections between switches and routers in data centers
• Server-to-switch links in high-density rack deployments
• Switch-to-switch stacking and uplink connections within a single equipment room
• Low-latency interconnects for storage and compute clusters

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (per cable pair)
• Length: 5 metres
• Optical medium: integrated multimode fiber
• Compatibility: designed for use with Ciena-compatible SFP+ ports
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for short-reach links
• Physical features: lightweight, flexible cable assembly with SFP+ connectors at both ends

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected. Ensure ports are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your equipment vendor if inserting modules into active ports. The cable is plug-and-play; devices should detect the optical link automatically if the ports support SFP+ AOC modules and the firmware accepts compatible transceivers. Verify link status and data rate from the device management interface after installation.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Confirm compatibility with device firmware and port vendor support lists when deploying in mixed-vendor environments. For environments with potential mechanical strain, secure the cable to prevent stress on the SFP+ connectors.
