AOC aktívny optický kábel CBO CBL-10GSFP-AOC-50M 50 m SFP+ kompatibilný

The AOC CBO CBL-10GSFP-AOC-50M is a 50-metre Active Optical Cable (AOC) compatible with SFP+ interfaces, engineered for reliable 10Gbps links over short to mid-range distances. This pre-terminated optical link replaces traditional copper twinax and offers a lightweight, low-profile connection for data centre uplinks, server pairs and switch-to-switch interconnects. The cable reduces electromagnetic interference and cabling bulk while maintaining full-duplex 10Gbps performance and native SFP+ compatibility for plug-and-play deployment.

Advantages

The cable delivers consistent 10Gbps bandwidth with low latency and minimal signal loss across its 50-metre length, suitable for typical data centre distances. Being an active optical assembly, it consumes less rack space and weight compared with equivalent copper solutions and eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fibre patching. Its SFP+ compatibility enables direct insertion into SFP+ ports on switches and servers for straightforward installation and interoperability with existing SFP+ equipment.

Suitable for

• Switch-to-switch 10Gbps uplinks in data centres and server rooms
• Server-to-switch connections where mid-range fibre runs are required
• High-density rack environments requiring low-weight, low-profile cabling
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Length: 50 metres
• Interface compatibility: SFP+ form factor
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Connector type: SFP+ integrated optical connectors (plug-and-play)
• Typical use: short- to mid-range fibre interconnects
• Physical: lightweight, low-profile jacket suitable for rack routing

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked. Ensure both devices are powered down or that hot-swap procedures recommended by the device manufacturer are followed. Once seated, the AOC should be recognized automatically by equipment that supports standard SFP+ modules; confirm link status through switch or server management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical assemblies.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid excessive bending, crushing or sharp kinks and keep the cable away from high-heat sources. Verify compatibility with your switch or server SFP+ ports and firmware; if link negotiation or diagnostics show issues, check seating and port configuration before replacing hardware. Use cable labeling in dense installations to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
