CBO AOC SFP+ kábel pre Meraki SFP-AOC-10G-15M — 10 Gbit/s, 15 m

CBO AOC SFP+ cable for Meraki SFP-AOC-10G-15M is an active optical cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gbps links over a 15-meter distance. Engineered for short-range high-speed interconnects, this AOC connects SFP+ ports on switches, servers and other network devices without the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. The design emphasizes low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for modern data center and enterprise network topologies that require clean, high-throughput connections.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides consistent 10 Gbps throughput across the full 15 m span while reducing power and space compared with discrete transceiver plus fiber assemblies. Passive electrical noise sources are mitigated by optical transmission, improving signal integrity in dense rack environments. The fixed-length AOC simplifies inventory and deployment by eliminating separate patch cords and transceivers, and the hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors support straightforward installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Short-range uplinks between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• High-speed links between network appliances with SFP+ ports
• Environments requiring low-latency, EMI-resistant cabling

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Connector type: SFP+ (hot-pluggable)
• Length: 15 m
• Typical range: short-reach interconnects
• Latency: low (optimized for minimal added delay)
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission
• Operating environment: designed for data center and enterprise network use

How to use

Ensure both devices support 10 Gbps SFP+ links and power is applied to the connected equipment. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages, observing port orientation. No separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. After physical installation, verify link status and speed through the network device management interface and adjust port settings if necessary. For best results, avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the cable and route it to minimize stress on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the AOC for short-range 10 Gbps connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, or fluids, and follow rack cable management practices to preserve signal integrity and connector life. When replacing or upgrading links, verify compatibility with device firmware and link negotiation settings to ensure stable operation.
