SFP+ AOC kábel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10 Gbit/s 5 m

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M is a pre-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution that delivers 10Gbps data throughput over a 5-metre optical link. Designed for use with SFP+ ports, this AOC provides a reliable, low-latency connection between switches, servers and storage devices in data centres and enterprise networks. The integrated transceiver heads remove the need for separate fibre transceivers and fibre terminations, simplifying installation and reducing cabling complexity.

Advantages

This SFP+ AOC offers high bandwidth and low latency performance suitable for demanding network environments. The 5 m optical link supports flexible rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections while maintaining signal integrity and lower electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling. Pre-terminated, factory-tested optics reduce deployment time and minimise the risk of connector contamination or improper termination. The compact SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with standard SFP+ ports on compatible switches and servers.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch connections in rack-mounted deployments
• Storage area network interconnects and SAN front-end links
• Short-distance optical links within data centre aisles and cages

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 5 metres optical cable
• Form factor: SFP+ integrated AOC
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Electromagnetic immunity: optical medium reduces EMI susceptibility
• Deployment: pre-terminated, factory-tested assembly

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the compatible SFP+ ports on the networking devices until the latch engages. Confirm link status through the device interface and monitoring LEDs. No additional transceivers or fibre patch cables are required. For hot-pluggable SFP+ ports, insert or remove the cable with the host device powered on if supported by your equipment; otherwise, follow standard maintenance procedures for powering down before changes. Verify compatibility with the hardware vendor’s SFP+ port specifications and enable any required port settings on switches or servers.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings rather than bending the optical cable sharply; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. Keep connectors capped until installation to avoid contamination. Use the 5 m AOC for short-reach optical interconnects inside racks or across adjacent racks to achieve cleaner cable management and reduced heat dissipation compared with copper alternatives.
