Aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m, 10G SFP+ Direct-Attach AOC

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10-metre active optical cable with SFP+ connectors engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a fiber link in a single, factory-terminated assembly to provide a compact, low-power alternative to separate transceivers plus patch fiber. It is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and other network devices in data centres and enterprise rack environments, delivering predictable performance and simplified deployment.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces component count and installation complexity while lowering power consumption compared with discrete transceiver and patch-cable solutions. With a fixed 10 metre length and SFP+ form-factor, the cable enables plug-and-play interconnects without the need to align separate modules or terminate fiber on site. Its optical link provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference, and the factory-tested assembly ensures consistent 10 Gbps throughput for short-reach links.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and middle-of-row switch-to-server connections
• Inter-switch links within racks or adjacent racks
• High-density 10G aggregation and access layers in data centres
• Enterprise network equipment that accepts SFP+ direct-attach AOC modules

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ (bi-directional, hot-pluggable)
• Nominal length: 10 metres
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (per link)
• Optical medium: multimode active optical cable assembly
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent discrete transceiver plus fiber pairs (typical for AOC)
• Compatibility: designed for devices with SFP+ ports supporting 10G direct-attach AOC
• Operation: short-reach use within racks and between adjacent racks

How to use

Install the CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be linked until the module latches. Ensure both ends are seated and visible link/activity LEDs indicate a successful physical connection. No field termination or fibre polishing is required. Verify that the network equipment supports SFP+ AOC modules and is configured for 10 Gbps operation. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or tight cable bundles that could stress the assembly.

Recommendations

Use the cable indoors within controlled data centre or server-room environments. Avoid routing near high-heat sources and maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum to preserve optical performance. Check device compatibility and firmware requirements before deployment and label both ends for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.
