SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO Alcatel-Lucent SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10Gbps 3m

SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO Alcatel-Lucent SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10Gbps 3m is a fixed 3-meter active optical cable with integrated SFP+ transceivers that delivers a 10 Gb/s full-duplex fiber link. Designed for short-reach, high-density environments, this AOC combines the optical transceivers and multimode fiber in a single assembly to reduce components and simplify rack-to-rack or server-to-switch interconnects. The cable supports standard SFP+ electrical interfaces and is compatible with devices accepting SFP+ modules, offering a compact solution for data centers and enterprise networking where reliable 10G links are required.

Advantages

The integrated transceiver design eliminates the need for separate optical modules and patch cords, reducing installation time and component count. As an active optical cable, it provides lower power consumption and improved signal integrity over equivalent copper solutions at the same distance. The 3 m length is optimized for short-reach connections in racks and adjacent cabinets, enabling high-density deployments and predictable performance without optical connector handling.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack 10 Gb/s interconnects in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within the same room
• High-density top-of-rack deployments requiring compact cabling
• Environments where reduced component management and simplified cabling are desired

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabits per second (full duplex)
• Length: 3 meters fixed assembly
• Connector form factor: SFP+ electrical interface with integrated optical ends
• Media type: multimode optical fiber within an active cable
• Transmission: active optical with integrated transceiver electronics
• Typical use case: short-reach links inside racks and between adjacent racks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and that ports are enabled for 10 Gb/s operation. No separate optical transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. Verify link status through the device LEDs or management interface and configure link settings on connected equipment as needed for speed, duplex, and flow control.

Recommendations

Use the cable for intra-rack and short inter-rack connections where the 3 m length is sufficient. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; follow device vendor guidelines for SFP+ port handling and electrostatic precautions during installation. For environments with different vendor equipment, confirm interoperability with the network devices before large-scale deployment.
