AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M aktívny optický kábel 10G, 50 m

The AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M Active Optical Cable provides a 10 Gbps full-duplex connection over a 50-meter multimode fibre link. Built for devices with SFP+ ports, this BlueOptics cable integrates optical transceiver functionality into a single plug-and-play assembly, removing the need for separate SFP+ transceivers and simplifying deployment. The cable is designed to deliver low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense networking environments such as data centres and server racks.

Advantages

The active optical design ensures stable 10 Gbps performance across 50 m with reduced signal loss compared with long copper runs. Plug-and-play compatibility with standard SFP+ ports lowers installation time and reduces points of failure by eliminating separate modules and patch cords. The optical medium provides EMI resistance and improved thermal behaviour in crowded rack environments, while the integrated connectors maintain compact cable management and predictable channel characteristics.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and inter-rack connections
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 10 Gbps links
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) fabrics
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity is required
• Short to medium distance fibre backbones in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Link length: 50 metres over multimode fibre
• Connector type: SFP+ style integrated optical plugs for direct port insertion
• Media: multimode optical fibre within an active optical cable assembly
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• EMI characteristics: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper equivalents
• Mounting/installation: plug-and-play with hot-pluggable connectors

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each integrated SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on your devices until the latch engages. Confirm link status through the host device LEDs or management interface. No separate transceivers or additional configuration is normally required; the connected ports should negotiate the 10 Gbps link automatically if both ends support SFP+ and the appropriate firmware/driver settings. Route the cable through racks and cable management trays to avoid sharp bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and physical strain on the cable assembly, ensure ports are compatible with SFP+ active optical assemblies, and verify device firmware supports direct-attach AOC modules. Use standard cable management practices in data centres to preserve optical performance and accessibility.
