SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10 Gbit/s 3 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M is a 3-meter direct-attach fiber solution that supports 10Gbps links for short-reach interconnects. It integrates active optical components within an SFP+ form-factor cable to provide a plug-and-play connection between compatible SFP+ ports without requiring separate transceivers. The design targets high-density environments where low latency and reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity are required between switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 10 Gbps data rates over a compact 3 m length while reducing the need for individual transceiver modules, which simplifies cabling and inventory management. The integrated optics provide consistent signal quality with low insertion loss and electrical noise immunity compared with copper DACs, enabling stable performance in data center and enterprise rack deployments. Hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors allow quick installation and replacement without downtime for compatible devices.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between aggregation and core switches
• Rack-to-rack high-speed links in server rooms
• Direct server-to-storage or server-to-server connections
• High-density top-of-rack installations requiring 10Gbps short-reach links

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends, hot-pluggable
• Signal medium: active optical fiber
• Typical use: short-reach links within racks and between adjacent racks
• Latency: low, suitable for time-sensitive network traffic

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be linked, ensuring the latches engage to secure the connection. Verify that both endpoints negotiate a 10 Gbps link and that device firmware or port settings are configured for SFP+ transceiver operation if required. No separate power or optical transceivers are needed; the active elements are integrated in the cable assembly. For removal, disengage the latches and pull straight out to avoid stressing the connector.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m active optical cable for short-distance 10Gbps connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid routing the cable near sharp bends or high-heat sources, and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance. Confirm compatibility with the SFP+ ports and consult device documentation for any vendor-specific settings.
