SFP+ AOC kábel CBO Viavi SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G 5 m

The SFP+ AOC cable CBO Viavi SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G 5 m is an active optical cable that provides 10 Gigabit connectivity across a 5-metre optical link with SFP+ module ends. It is designed for short-range, high-bandwidth connections between network switches, servers and network interface cards that support SFP+ ports. The integrated optical transceivers and pre-terminated fiber eliminate the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, offering a compact, low-latency link with reduced electromagnetic interference and simplified installation.

Advantages

This SFP+ AOC offers native 10 Gbps data rates over a single cable with low power consumption compared to separate transceiver plus cable assemblies. The all-in-one design reduces connector loss and improves signal integrity for short-distance links. Installation is simplified by eliminating field termination and fiber patching, which shortens deployment time and reduces potential points of failure. The optical medium minimizes susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and provides consistent performance in data centre environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed interconnects between top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Direct connections between servers and switches or between NICs supporting SFP+
• Short-reach links inside racks or across adjacent racks in data centres
• Environments requiring low-latency and EMI-resistant links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (full duplex)
• Cable type: Active optical cable with SFP+ module ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor pluggable on both ends
• Typical use: Short-range, high-bandwidth interconnects
• Latency: Low propagation latency typical of optical AOCs
• EMI: Immunity to electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives

How to use

Insert each SFP+ module end into the SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the latch engages. Verify that both endpoints support 10 Gbps SFP+ operation and that module compatibility with the host devices is allowed. After physical installation, check link status and negotiated speed via the devices' network management interfaces. No fiber polishing or patching is required; handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable to avoid excessive bending, kinking or crushing and keep it away from sharp edges. Use in environments within the operating temperature specified by your equipment vendors and confirm compatibility with your switch or server vendor if strict interoperability policies are enforced.
