Cable de fibra óptica AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M 10Gbit/s, 20 m, SFP+ a SFP+

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M is a 20-meter active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ to SFP+ connections, designed to carry 10 Gbps data between SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage systems. The integrated transceivers eliminate the need for separate modules, providing a fixed-length fibre link appropriate for data centre top-of-rack and aggregation connections. The cable offers low latency and reduced power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct-attach assemblies, while preserving signal integrity over its 20 m length.

Advantages

The SFP-AOC-10G-20M provides plug-and-play installation without separate optical transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying inventory. Its active optical design ensures stable 10 Gbps throughput at 20 m distance with low electromagnetic interference and consistent performance in high-density rack environments. The integrated SFP+ connectors are hot-pluggable and compatible with equipment supporting standard SFP+ AOC links.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches in data centres and server rooms
• Direct connections from servers to SAN or NAS storage appliances
• High-speed links in aggregation and access layers up to 20 m
• Environments where lower power consumption and EMI immunity are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (full duplex)
• Length: 20 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Transmission medium: Multimode optical fibre with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive links
• Operating environment: designed for indoor data centre and rack use

How to use

Install the BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-20M by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the two devices to be connected. Ensure devices are powered and support SFP+ AOC links; the cable is hot-pluggable and will be recognised automatically by compatible network equipment. Route the cable within the rack or cable tray to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required.

Recommendations

Use the cable for fixed 20 m connections within racks or between adjacent racks rather than long campus runs. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and update firmware if a vendor-specific compatibility list is required. Avoid exposing the cable to liquids, extreme temperatures, or tight bends to maintain optical performance.
