SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10 Gbps, 3 m, LC

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10 Gbps, 3 m, LC is a 3-meter SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) with LC connectors rated for 10 Gbps data transmission. It is engineered for short-range, high-speed links between switches, servers and other network devices. The integrated active optics remove the need for separate transceiver modules, delivering low-latency optical connections with reduced power consumption and heat generation compared with equivalent electrical copper cables.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable design provides consistent 10 Gbps throughput over a 3 m distance while maintaining low latency and low power draw. LC connectors offer standardised, secure mating with SFP+ ports. By combining cable and optics in a single assembly, the product simplifies rack cabling and reduces the number of removable transceivers required. The optical medium minimizes electromagnetic interference and supports reliable signal integrity in densely cabled environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gbps connections between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Direct links between servers and network switches in data centres
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area network interconnects
• Environments where reduced power consumption and lower heat output are desirable

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex
• Interface: SFP+ form factor
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 3 m
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Transmission medium: Optical fibre with active transceivers integrated in the assembly
• Operating environment: Designed for short-range intra-rack and inter-rack applications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each LC connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices, ensuring the latch engages securely. No separate transceiver modules are required; the active optics are part of the cable assembly. Confirm both ends are fully seated and verify link activity via device LEDs or management interfaces. When removing the cable, press the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on the connector and port. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling networking equipment.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance 10 Gbps links up to 3 m where reduced power consumption and simplified cabling are priorities. Avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. For mixed vendor environments, verify compatibility with device SFP+ ports and firmware policies before deployment.
