SFP-AOC 10G aktívny optický kábel CBO 2 m – CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC 10G Active Optical Cable CBO 2 m (CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M) is a pre-terminated optical link that provides a 10 Gbps SFP+ connection over a 2-meter fiber assembly. It is designed for short-reach high-speed interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks, enabling direct connections between switches, servers and storage appliances with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The hot-pluggable SFP+ form factor allows straightforward insertion into standard SFP+ ports without additional transceivers or patch cords.

Advantages

The integrated active optical cable combines transceiver electronics and fiber in a single, lightweight assembly, delivering stable 10 Gbps throughput and reduced power consumption compared with some copper alternatives. Its optical transmission eliminates susceptibility to EMI and ground loop issues, while the fixed 2 m length provides a clean, organized interconnect ideal for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections. The SFP+ hot-pluggable design supports quick deployment and simple replacement without network interruptions when used in live systems that support hot-swap.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Direct server-to-switch or server-to-storage connections in data centers
• Short-reach interconnects in enterprise LAN and SAN environments
• Environments requiring low EMI and compact cabling runs

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps over SFP+ interface
• Link medium: Active optical cable with fiber cores integrated
• Length: 2 meters
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for short-reach links
• Compatibility: designed for standard SFP+ ports supporting AOC modules
• Power: integrated active electronics with efficient power profile

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the module latches. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and that connected devices are configured for 10 Gbps operation if manual port settings are required. The cable is hot-pluggable; when replacing or installing in live systems, follow your equipment vendor’s hot-swap guidelines to avoid transient errors. No separate fiber termination or patch panels are needed; the pre-terminated assembly simplifies cabling and reduces installation time.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m 10 G SFP-AOC in short-reach scenarios such as within a rack or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the SFP+ connectors. Verify firmware and compatibility lists for your switches and servers to ensure full link negotiation and feature support.
