CBO Coriant SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G SFP+ aktívny optický kábel, 5 m

CBO Coriant SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 5 m is a fixed-length active optical cable designed for 10 Gbps links between SFP+ ports. With a 5 metre cable length, it offers a plug-and-play alternative to short-reach fiber transceivers and duplex fiber cabling, delivering low latency and reduced power consumption for high-density network environments. The cable integrates SFP+ connectors at both ends and is intended for direct connections between switches, servers and storage devices within racks and between adjacent racks.

Advantages

The active optical cable provides a compact, integrated solution that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing signal loss points. Its active optics enable lower power consumption and consistent 10 Gbps performance over the 5 m length. The pre-terminated design ensures immediate compatibility with SFP+ ports and reduces cable management complexity in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Data centre top-of-rack and end-of-row uplinks
• Rack-to-rack connections within the same room or adjacent rows
• High-performance server-to-switch and storage-to-switch links
• Short-reach fiber replacement where 10 Gbps SFP+ ports are used

Key specifications

• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor integrated connectors
• Length: 5 metres fixed
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: short-reach, intra-rack and inter-rack interconnects
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power: low-power active optics optimized for dense deployments

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage appliances until the connector latches. No additional transceivers, fiber patch cords or manual polishing are required. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and configure interface settings on network equipment as needed for 10 Gbps operation. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its specified 5 m distance and in environments where SFP+ port compatibility is confirmed. Maintain bend radius recommendations for optical cables and avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or mechanical stress. When deploying in high-density racks, plan cable routing to prevent strain on connectors and to ensure adequate airflow.
