AOC SFP+ cable óptico activo CBO 10G-SFPP-AOC-5001 50m

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO 10G-SFPP-AOC-5001 50m is a factory-terminated fiber link designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports. This 50-metre pre-assembled active optical cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission suitable for short-reach data centre interconnects, server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links. Its optical design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and simplifies installation by eliminating the need for field termination and optical transceivers on each end when supported by compatible SFP+ ports.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers consistent 10 Gb/s performance over a 50 m distance with reduced power consumption compared with separate transceiver-plus-fiber solutions in some deployments. The pre-terminated construction ensures predictable signal integrity and minimal insertion loss, while the optical medium avoids crosstalk and EMI issues common to copper cabling. The compact SFP+ form-factor connectors preserve port density on network equipment and make the cable straightforward to deploy in rack environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches, servers and storage in data centres
• Short-reach interconnects where 50 m cable runs are required
• Environments needing reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (SFP+ compatible)
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ active optical cable ends (pre-terminated)
• Medium: active multimode optical link with integrated transceivers
• Typical applications: short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects in racks and data halls

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on your network devices until the connector latches. Verify link status via device management interfaces or LED indicators. No field termination is required; ensure both ends are supported by the devices for direct-attach active optical cable operation. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending; observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain signal performance. If a link does not come up, check compatibility, firmware requirements and port settings on the connected devices.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within recommended ambient temperature and handling limits, avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and confirm device compatibility with SFP+ active optical cables. Maintain cleanliness of port interfaces and follow equipment vendor guidance for hot-plugging and link negotiation settings.
