SFP+ AOC Direct-Attach kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10G 15m

The BlueOptics SFP+ AOC Direct Attach Cable SFP-AOC-10G-15M is an active optical cable that delivers a 10 Gigabit connection over a 15 meter optical link with SFP+ interfaces on both ends. Engineered for server, switch and storage interconnects in racks and data centers, this AOC offers low latency and energy-efficient signal transmission while avoiding electromagnetic interference common to copper cabling. The integrated SFP+ connectors make it a plug-and-play solution for compatible SFP+ ports and hot-plug environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides a stable 10 Gbps throughput across a 15 m distance while keeping power consumption low compared to electrical copper alternatives. The optical medium ensures immunity to electromagnetic interference and reduced crosstalk in dense rack deployments. Compact SFP+ form-factor terminations permit direct insertion into SFP+ ports without separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing component count in high-density networking setups.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting 10G switches within the same rack or between adjacent racks
• High-speed links between servers and storage arrays
• Data center top-of-rack (ToR) and aggregation layer connections
• Low-latency clustering and virtualisation environments requiring 10 Gbps links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (10 Gbps)
• Length: 15 metres optical cable
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: Short-reach intra-rack and inter-rack connections
• Latency: Low-latency optical transmission suitable for real-time applications
• EMI immunity: Optical link avoids electromagnetic interference

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP+ ports that support 10 Gbps AOC modules. Power down or use hot-plug procedures recommended by your equipment vendor, insert each SFP+ end into the corresponding port until the connector latches, and verify link status via the device interface or LEDs. The cable requires no additional transceivers or patch panels; standard network management tools can be used to monitor link performance and error statistics.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; follow the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use within typical data centre temperature ranges and avoid prolonged exposure to mechanical stress. When deploying in high-density environments, label both ends to simplify maintenance and verify compatibility with switch vendor firmware if vendor locking is a concern.
