Cable AOC SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M cable óptico activo 10Gbps, 7 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M is an active optical cable that delivers a 10Gbps direct-attach link over a 7-metre fiber connection. Engineered for SFP+ ports, this AOC integrates transceiver electronics into a pre-terminated cable, eliminating the need for separate modules and fiber patching. It is intended for high-density network environments where compact, low-latency links and immunity to electromagnetic interference are important.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides full 10Gbps throughput with low latency and stable signal quality across the 7 m length. Plug-and-play design reduces installation time and avoids additional transceiver purchases or fiber connectors. As an optical link, it offers electrical isolation and resistance to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for environments with high electrical noise. The enclosed transceiver electronics ensure consistent performance and simplify inventory management compared with separate optics and patch cords.

Suitable for

• Data center switch-to-switch uplinks
• Rack-to-rack interconnects in server rooms
• Server to storage or switch connections requiring 10Gbps
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ compatible active optical cable
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 7 metres
• Connector: SFP+ duplex-style integrated connector ends
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber within AOC assembly
• Typical latency: low, designed for low-latency links (application dependent)
• Power: powered from SFP+ host ports (no separate power supply)
• EMC characteristics: immune to electromagnetic interference due to optical link

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch clicks. Ensure devices are powered and compatible with SFP+ AOC modules. No external transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. Monitor link status on the host devices to confirm a stable 10Gbps connection and verify speed and duplex settings in device management if necessary. To remove, release the latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the connector.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid excessive bending; follow manufacturer bend-radius guidelines and avoid tight kinks. Use AOC links for fixed-length connections within racks or between adjacent racks; for longer or field-terminated runs, consider separate transceivers with fiber cabling. Confirm host compatibility and firmware support for SFP+ AOC modules when connecting different vendors’ equipment.
