AOC SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M 10 Gbit/s, 7 m

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M is a 10 Gbps SFP+ direct-attach optical cable with a 7-metre length, engineered for short-range high-speed links in data center and enterprise networks. It integrates active optical transceivers and a duplex fiber channel within a single assembly to provide low-latency 10G connectivity between switches, servers and storage systems without the need for separate transceivers or fiber patch cords. The cable supports hot-pluggable SFP+ ports and is intended for reliable rack-to-rack and top-of-rack interconnects where consistent throughput and compact cabling are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers a simplified deployment by combining transceiver optics and fiber in one pre-terminated unit, reducing installation time and minimizing potential failure points from multiple connectors. With 10 Gbps bandwidth over a 7 m reach, it enables low-latency links suitable for server aggregation and switch uplinks while lowering electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The SFP+ form factor provides compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and allows hot-swap replacement to maintain uptime during infrastructure changes.

Suitable for

• Short-range data center interconnects (rack-to-rack and shelf-to-shelf)
• Switch-to-server or switch-to-storage 10G links
• Top-of-rack and aggregation switch uplinks
• Environments requiring compact cabling and reduced EMI

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps per link
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
• Length: 7 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ plug-ended duplex optical interface
• Typical use: Short-range multimode optical interconnects for rack environments
• Latency: Low-latency design suitable for high-throughput applications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage devices until it latches. The device should recognize the active optical cable as a pluggable SFP+ module; configure port settings on the connected equipment as required for 10 Gbps operation. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and route the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. For hot-swap replacement, power and traffic management procedures recommended by your equipment vendor should be followed to preserve session integrity.

Recommendations

Use this 7 m AOC for short interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain appropriate cable management to preserve optical performance, avoid tight bends, and ensure SFP+ ports are compatible with active optical solutions. For longer distances or different link topologies, evaluate appropriate transceiver and fiber options.
