Cable óptico activo AOC CBO SFP+ 10G 15m compatible con Nokia (SFP-AOC-10G-15M)

The AOC CBO SFP+ active optical cable 10G 15m compatible with Nokia (SFP-AOC-10G-15M) is a factory-terminated SFP+ to SFP+ direct link that delivers 10 Gigabit bandwidth over a 15-metre optical channel. It integrates active optical transceivers with a fixed duplex cable, providing a single-component solution that fits standard SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage equipment. The design removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords while offering low latency and stable signal integrity for short-range interconnects in network racks and data center topologies.

Advantages

This active optical cable combines the convenience of a pre-terminated SFP+ connection with the performance of multimode optical transmission. The integrated module reduces physical cabling complexity and eliminates the time required to install separate transceivers and fiber patch leads. With a 15 m reach, it supports flexible rack-to-rack and shelf-to-shelf connections while maintaining 10 Gbps throughput and minimized electromagnetic interference compared to copper alternatives. The plug-and-play form factor simplifies deployment and lowers the risk of connector mismatch.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches in data centres and server rooms
• Direct server-to-switch or switch-to-storage connections within racks and between adjacent racks
• High-density networking environments requiring simplified cabling and rapid service changes
• Short-reach optical interconnects where low latency and consistent throughput are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends
• Reach: 15 metres optical link
• Cable type: Active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Power consumption: low-power SFP+ active modules (device-dependent)
• Compatibility: designed to operate with equipment accepting SFP+ optical modules
• Latency: low, suitable for switch and server interconnects

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 both devices are powered and configured to use 10 Gbps SFP+ optical links; the cable will be recognised as a single optical link by compatible hardware. Avoid excessive bending or compressing of the cable bundle; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Monitor the link status via device management interfaces and verify operational parameters such as link speed and optical signal levels after installation.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-range optical interconnects within rack and row distances up to 15 m. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ optical modules before installation and follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the connectors. For best performance, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; if multiple AOCs run in parallel, maintain airflow and avoid obstructing cooling paths.
