SFP+ AOC kábel CBO pre Palo Alto Networks SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G 5 m

The SFP+ AOC Cable CBO for Palo Alto Networks SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G 5 m is an active optical cable in SFP+ form factor that provides a 10 Gbit/s full-duplex link over a 5-metre optical assembly. It uses integrated transceivers with SFP+ connectors for direct attachment between compatible switches, firewalls and servers. The design reduces electromagnetic interference and provides low latency for short-reach, high-speed interconnects commonly used in data centre patching and appliance connections.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 10 Gbit/s throughput with consistent signal integrity across a 5 m optical run and eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords. Its SFP+ form-factor connectors allow hot-pluggable insertion into compatible ports, while the optical medium reduces susceptibility to EMI and crosstalk. The cable’s compact construction simplifies cable management in dense rack environments and supports low-latency links between networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections within racks or adjacent racks
• Interconnecting firewalls and security appliances to network switches
• Data centre patching where 10 Gbit/s bandwidth and low-latency are required
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (full duplex)
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends, hot-pluggable
• Media: optical fiber with integrated transceivers (active)
• Typical use range: short-reach links within racks or adjacent racks
• Latency: low — suitable for time-sensitive network paths

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding 10 Gbit/s SFP+ port until it clicks into place. Ensure both devices are powered and that their ports support SFP+ AOC modules. The cable is hot-pluggable; however, follow your organisation’s change control procedures when connecting critical equipment. Monitor link status on connected devices to confirm successful negotiation at 10 Gbit/s and verify network parameters through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

Use this 5 m SFP+ AOC for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where 10 Gbit/s performance and low EMI are priorities. Avoid tight bends in the cable and maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius. Verify compatibility with your network equipment firmware and port specifications before deployment.
