AOC CBO SFP+ 10G aktívny optický kábel 50m — model SFP-AOC-10G-50M-F5-BO

Active Optical Cable (AOC) CBO SFP+ 10G, model SFP-AOC-10G-50M-F5-BO, is a factory-terminated optical interconnect with a fixed 50-meter length designed for 10 Gigabit SFP+ links. The cable provides low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers and network interface cards. Its plug-and-play design simplifies installation in data centers and rack-to-rack environments where copper cabling cannot meet distance or electromagnetic requirements, while the optical transmission reduces signal attenuation and supports energy-efficient operation.

Advantages

The AOC delivers consistent 10 Gbps performance over a 50 m reach with minimal signal loss and latency compared with comparable copper solutions. Being an active optical solution, it integrates transceivers and optical fiber in a single assembly, which reduces the number of field terminations and simplifies inventory. The fixed-length, factory-terminated construction ensures predictable link performance and faster deployment. It is compatible with standard SFP+ ports that accept AOC modules and leverages optical transmission to avoid issues with electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch and server-to-switch links
• Rack-to-rack high-speed connections
• Environments requiring low-latency 10 Gigabit links where copper reach is insufficient
• Short optical backbone connections inside server rooms and telecom cabinets

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ plug-and-play optical assembly
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps
• Fixed length: 50 meters
• Transmission medium: active multimode optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-performance networks
• Typical applications: data center interconnects, rack-to-rack cabling, server uplinks

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your switches, servers or NICs until the latch clicks. Ensure both endpoints support SFP+ AOC modules and that the devices are powered off or that hot-swap procedures recommended by the device manufacturer are followed. After insertion, verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm negotiated 10 Gbps link speed. No field termination or fiber polishing is required thanks to the factory-terminated design.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation. Use appropriate cable management in racks and cabinets to reduce mechanical stress on connectors. Verify compatibility with your network equipment vendor documentation when using vendor-locked ports or compatibility lists. For optimal performance in dense deployments, keep cable length consistent with the planned link budget and environmental conditions such as temperature and airflow.
