AOC SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10 Gbit/s, 5 m, kompatibilný s Intel

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M is a 10 Gbps short-reach fiber interconnect designed for SFP+ ports. This 5‑metre active optical cable delivers a reliable direct link for servers, switches and storage devices, reducing latency and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The Intel-compatible design enables straightforward integration into data center and enterprise network environments that require high-throughput, low-latency connections for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links.

Advantages

The cable provides 10 Gbps throughput over a 5 m fiber path with plug-and-play operation through SFP+ interfaces, minimizing setup time. Active optical construction lowers signal degradation over short distances and eliminates bulky copper cabling and associated EMI concerns. Compatibility with common SFP+ ports and Intel-certified interoperability helps ensure predictable performance in mixed-vendor installations while keeping power consumption and latency low compared with multi-mode copper solutions.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in rack and row data center topologies
• Switch-to-switch aggregation and leaf-spine links
• Direct-attach links for storage arrays and SAN fabric segments
• High-density patching where cable diameter and EMI are a concern

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP+ interfaces at both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (single assembly, fiber)
• Length: 5 metres
• Compatibility: Intel-compatible SFP+ hosts and switches
• Latency: low-latency optical link suitable for short-reach applications
• Power: low power consumption relative to comparable transceiver plus fiber assemblies

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end of the cable into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to use the SFP+ port; most supported systems will automatically recognize the active optical cable and negotiate link parameters. Verify link LEDs or management interfaces to confirm a 10 Gbps connection. If the link does not come up, reseat the connectors and verify that the devices support Intel-compatible SFP+ modules and that port settings match (speed, duplex, and auto-negotiation).

Recommendations

Use this cable for short-reach 10 Gbps links inside racks or between adjacent racks; avoid excessive bending or crushing of the cable, maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, and keep connectors clean to ensure optimal optical performance.
