AOC SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO CBL-SFP+AOC-15M dĺžka 15 m

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO CBL-SFP+AOC-15M 15 m length is a factory-terminated SFP+ active optical assembly designed for direct connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and other network devices. This 15-metre single-cable solution provides high-speed optical links without the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, enabling straightforward installation and predictable optical performance. It reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives and is intended for short-reach connections inside data centres, server rooms and network cabinets.

Advantages

The cable delivers SFP+-grade data rates with the convenience of a single, pluggable assembly, removing the need to manage separate transceivers and fiber patching. As an active optical cable it offers lower weight, greater flexibility over long copper runs and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Factory-terminated connectors ensure consistent signal integrity and simplified inventory since the assembly is ready to plug into standard SFP+ ports. The 15 m length covers typical intra-rack and inter-rack distances in modern data centre layouts.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Switch-to-switch links within racks and between adjacent racks
• High-density network deployments requiring SFP+ form-factor cabling
• Environments where reduced EMI and predictable optical performance are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable assembly
• Length: 15 metres
• Data rate support: SFP+ class speeds (10 Gbps)
• Connector type: SFP+ plug-to-plug factory-terminated
• Transmission medium: multimode/mode-optimized optical fibre with active electronics
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling
• Typical use: short-reach intra-data centre links

How to use

Insert one SFP+ plug into the SFP+ port of the first device and the other plug into the SFP+ port of the second device, ensuring both ports are compatible with active optical cable assemblies. Observe standard hot-plug procedures for SFP+ modules if supported by the equipment, and verify link status indicators on each device after connection. No separate transceivers or fibre patch cords are required; handle the cable to avoid tight bends and protect connector endfaces from contamination when not in use.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable with bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum to avoid optical loss, keep the connectors covered when unplugged to prevent contamination, and confirm compatibility with the switch or server vendor’s SFP+ AOC policy. Use the 15 m length for intra-rack and short inter-rack connections where 10 Gbps SFP+ performance is needed.
