AOC CBO Marconi SFP-AOC-10G-7M 10G aktívny optický kábel, 7 m

The AOC CBO Marconi SFP-AOC-10G-7M 10G Active Optical Cable, 7 m is a pre-terminated SFP+ form-factor optical link designed for short-reach connections in data centers and high-speed networks. The cable provides 10 Gigabit full-duplex connectivity over a 7 meter multimode fiber assembly integrated into SFP+ connectors. This active optical cable minimizes electromagnetic interference and heat generation compared with equivalent copper solutions and simplifies installation by eliminating separate transceivers and fiber patch cords.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable delivers 10 Gbps bandwidth with low latency and consistent signal integrity across the entire 7 m length. The SFP+ form factor allows direct insertion into compatible switch, server or storage ports, reducing the number of components and potential points of failure. Its optical design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and enables longer practical reach than copper twinax at similar power consumption and weight. The integrated cable assembly simplifies cable management and shortens deployment time in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-performance storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row aggregation links
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and compact cable routing

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ integrated active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (full-duplex)
• Length: 7 meters
• Transmission medium: multimode fiber within an active cable assembly
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance switching and storage
• Power consumption: typical for active optical assemblies (lower than many copper DAC equivalents)
• Form factor: SFP+ compliant plug-and-play modules at both ends

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into corresponding SFP+ ports on switches, servers or storage arrays while the equipment is powered on or following the host vendors hot-plug guidance. Ensure ports are compatible with SFP+ optical modules and that link settings on the devices match 10G speed and duplex expectations. Physical routing should avoid tight bends; observe the manufacturers minimum bend radius for optical assemblies. After insertion, verify the link status and monitor for proper negotiation and line rates in network management tools.

Recommendations

Use this 7 m Active Optical Cable in rack-to-rack and within-rack short-reach connections where 10G bandwidth, low EMI and simplified cable management are priorities. Confirm host compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and follow standard ESD handling when installing optical connectors. For optimal reliability, avoid excessive mechanical stress and maintain proper airflow around active equipment.
