AOC kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10G 3 m aktívny optický SFP+ kábel

The AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M is an active optical cable that provides a 10 Gbps SFP+ connection over a 3-metre optical link. It integrates transceiver functionality into a single, factory-terminated module to deliver low-latency, high-bandwidth links without separate optical transceivers or patch cords. Designed for short-reach interconnects in data centres and enterprise networks, this 3 m SFP+ active optical cable is intended for direct connections between switches, servers and storage devices where a compact, power-efficient 10G link is required.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces installation complexity by eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fibre patch leads, saving rack space and reducing potential points of failure. Its active optical technology supports stable 10 Gbps throughput with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The 3-metre length offers a balance between reach and cable management in dense equipment racks and short server-room runs.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G interconnects between network switches
• Direct server-to-switch and server-to-storage links in data centres
• High-density rack environments requiring compact cabling
• Enterprise networks seeking low-latency, low-power 10G connections

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps over SFP+ interface
• Connector type: SFP+ form factor with integrated optical link
• Link medium: active optical cable (single integrated optical link)
• Length: 3 metres
• Latency: low latency design suitable for real-time traffic
• EMI immunity: optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference
• Power consumption: lower than many active copper twinax alternatives due to optical transceivers integration

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the two devices to be connected, ensuring each module seats fully and latches according to the equipment manufacturer’s guidance. Confirm link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and verify 10 Gbps operation in the network equipment configuration. No separate transceiver or patch fibre is required; handle the cable by the connectors and avoid sharp bends along the optical cable to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid tight bend radii and mechanical stress; maintain the specified 3 m length without splicing or extension. Verify compatibility with target devices for SFP+ AOC modules and ensure firmware or driver support if needed. Use in temperature-controlled rack environments and follow vendor guidelines for hot-plugging and electrostatic discharge precautions.
