AOC SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M cable óptico activo 10G, SFP+ a SFP+, 1 m

The AOC SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G Active Optical Cable is a 1 metre SFP+ to SFP+ direct-attach optical link designed for short-reach 10 Gbps interconnects. It integrates transceiver electronics and multimode optical fibers in a single, energy-efficient assembly to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity between compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices. The cable is intended for use in data centre racks and enterprise network environments where reliable 10G links over a 1 m distance are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers a compact, plug-and-play SFP+ form factor with integrated optics, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and additional fibre patching. The AOC provides lower power consumption compared with some copper direct-attach options and supports 10 Gbps line rates with minimal latency. Its sealed optical design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and simplifies cable management in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G interconnects between switches in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data centres and enterprise clusters
• Storage array links requiring 10 Gbps bandwidth over short distances
• High-density patching scenarios where space and power efficiency are priorities

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Active optical cable with integrated transceiver electronics
• Low-latency optical transmission suitable for short-reach applications
• Energy-efficient design compared with equivalent copper direct-attach solutions
• Compatible with standard SFP+ ports that support AOC modules

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices you intend to connect, ensuring the connectors latch securely. Most compatible devices will recognise the AOC as an SFP+ link without additional configuration; verify link status through device management interfaces. Avoid excessive bending of the cable and route it to minimise stress on the connectors and maintain airflow in racks. For hot-plug operations, follow the host device’s guidelines to prevent link flaps.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m AOC for reliable short-distance 10G links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm SFP+ compatibility with your network equipment vendor documentation and verify firmware or compatibility lists when deploying in multi-vendor environments. Store and handle the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive pulling to preserve optical performance.
