AOC CBO SFP+ cable óptico activo SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G 5m LC

The AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10G 5m LC is an active optical cable engineered for short-range 10 Gigabit interconnects between servers, switches and storage systems. This 5 metre SFP+ cable uses LC connectors and integrated transceivers to deliver low-latency, low-power fiber performance without the need for separate optical modules or patch cords. It is intended for compact, plug-and-play deployments in data centres and enterprise network racks where reliable 10G links and reduced cable bulk are required.

Advantages

The cable combines active optical technology with SFP+ form-factor compatibility, providing high data throughput with reduced electromagnetic interference and lower thermal load compared with equivalent copper cabling. Its 5 m length addresses common rack-to-rack and chassis-to-chassis distances while keeping cable management simpler. LC connectors and integrated optics enable hot-pluggable installation and consistent optical signalling for short-range 10G applications.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit interconnects between switches and servers
• Storage area network (SAN) links and top-of-rack connections
• High-density rack environments requiring compact fiber links
• Environments seeking low-latency, energy-efficient 10G connections

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Connector type: LC
• Length: 5 metres
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible plug-and-play modules
• Signal characteristics: Low latency, optical transmission
• Typical applications: Short-reach server, switch and storage interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the compatible SFP+ port on the network devices until it clicks into place, ensuring the LC connectors are clean and free from dust before insertion. Most compatible devices will recognise the active optical cable automatically and configure the link for 10G operation; verify link status via the device management interface. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it within the rack to maintain good airflow and mechanical stability.

Recommendations

Use appropriate dust caps when the cable is not connected and follow standard ESD precautions during handling. Avoid bending the cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and keep the cable clear of heat sources and sharp edges. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and check firmware or vendor notes if link negotiation does not occur automatically.
