CBO AOC Planet SFP-AOC-10G-20M 10G aktívny optický kábel 20 m SFP+

CBO AOC Planet SFP-AOC-10G-20M 10G active optical cable 20 m SFP+ is a factory-terminated active optical cable designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit connections between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage arrays. The 20‑metre multimode fibre core and SFP+ form factor enable plug-and-play links with low latency while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and copper cabling over medium interconnect distances. This active optical cable reduces electromagnetic interference and cabling bulk in data centres and server rooms, supporting reliable 10G data transfer for network aggregation, server uplinks and storage connectivity.

Advantages

The active optical design provides energy-efficient 10 Gigabit connectivity with minimal signal loss and low latency across 20 metres. The SFP+ connectors are hot-pluggable and compatible with standard SFP+ ports, delivering a compact, factory-tested solution that removes manual fibre termination and separate transceiver installation. Using multimode fibre core reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and helps maintain consistent throughput in dense rack environments. The single-cable solution simplifies cable management and lowers the physical footprint compared with equivalent copper cabling systems.

Suitable for

• High-speed switch-to-switch links within racks and across adjacent racks
• Server uplinks to top-of-rack or aggregation switches
• Storage area network (SAN) or NAS connections requiring 10G bandwidth
• Data centre and server room environments seeking reduced EMI and simplified cabling

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (10G)
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (AOC)
• Cable type: multimode optical fibre core with integrated transceivers
• Length: 20 metres
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for demanding network applications
• Connector: SFP+ hot-pluggable on both ends
• Environmental characteristics: suited for data centre and server room use

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into matching SFP+ ports on network switches, servers or storage devices until it seats securely. No additional transceivers or external power supplies are required; the cable is factory-terminated and ready for plug-and-play operation. After insertion, verify link status on the connected devices and configure network interfaces as needed for 10G operation. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive compression that could affect the optical performance.

Recommendations

Handle the SFP+ connectors by their bodies and avoid touching the optical interfaces. Maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fibre and keep connector dust caps until installation. Use this 20 m AOC for medium-distance interconnects inside data centres and server rooms where reduced EMI, simplified cable management and reliable 10G links are required.
