SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M-NV-BO 10 Gbps, 7 m, Twinax/AOC

The BlueOptics SFP+ active optical cable SFP-AOC-10G-7M-NV-BO delivers 10 Gbps connectivity across a 7-meter fiber link for SFP+ ports. This integrated twinax/AOC solution combines optical transceivers and fiber in a single hot-pluggable cable, enabling direct 10 Gigabit links between switches, servers and storage devices without separate SFP+ modules. The design supports low-latency, high-bandwidth data transfer for short-reach connections in racks and data center environments while maintaining a compact form factor for dense installations.

Advantages

The active optical cable provides full 10 Gbps performance with a lightweight and flexible 7 m fiber assembly, reducing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Its hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor simplifies installation and maintenance, and the integrated optical components lower power and space requirements compared with discrete module-plus-patch-cord solutions. The cable is suitable for short-reach, high-throughput links and minimizes signal loss and electrical interference typical of copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Direct links between servers and storage arrays
• Rack-to-rack backbone connections within data centers
• High-density network environments requiring compact SFP+ cabling

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps per channel
• Length: 7 meters
• Interface: SFP+ hot-pluggable connectors
• Cable type: active optical cable (integrated transceivers and fiber)
• Typical applications: short-reach data center links, rack-to-rack connections
• Form factor: SFP+ duplex

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are fully seated and the device ports support active optical cables. No separate transceivers are required since the optical interface is integrated into the cable. After insertion, verify the link status and data rate on connected devices and monitor for any port-level alarms. For safe removal, disable the port in the host device if required, then depress the eject mechanism and withdraw the connector carefully to avoid stress on the fiber.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach links within the same data hall or rack rows and avoid tight bends or crushing forces; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and handle the connectors by the housing to prevent contamination. Confirm compatibility with device firmware and SFP+ port specifications before deployment to ensure proper link negotiation and power behavior.
