Cable Direct Attach AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M-NV-BO — cable óptico activo 10G SFP+, 1 m, azul

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M-NV-BO is a 1‑meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The blue AOC provides a direct‑attach optical connection for short‑reach links between switches, servers and storage systems. By converting the electrical interface to an optical link inside the cable assembly, it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords, enabling a compact, low‑latency, plug‑and‑play solution tailored for data center interconnects and high‑speed uplinks.

Advantages

The cable delivers full 10 Gbps throughput with minimal latency and low power consumption compared with equivalent copper twinax solutions. Its active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and signal degradation over short distances while providing consistent performance. The integrated SFP+ connectors simplify installation and reduce component count, and the 1 m length supports tidy cable management in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 10G links in data centers
• High‑speed uplinks between racks and aggregation switches
• Direct connections between storage arrays and host adapters
• Clean, low‑EMI installations where electrical isolation is required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cable
• Rated data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 1 meter
• Cable type: Single‑assembly active optical cable
• Connector form factor: SFP+ duplex compatible
• Color: Blue for easy identification
• Typical use case: Short‑reach interconnects within racks and between adjacent racks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network equipment until the latch engages. No external transceivers or fiber patching is required. Ensure both ends are compatible with SFP+ ports and that device firmware or configuration allows AOC modules. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, keeping the bend radius within manufacturer recommendations to maintain optical integrity.

Recommendations

Verify port compatibility and link settings on connected devices before deployment. Use the 1 m length for short, direct links and avoid exceeding specified bend radius. For air‑flow and rack management, label both ends and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.
