Cable óptico activo (AOC) CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m SFP+ 10Gb/s

BlueOptics Active Optical Cable (AOC) SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10 m SFP+ direct-attach solution engineered for short-range 10 Gb/s connections between switches, servers and storage systems. The cable integrates optical transceivers into factory-terminated SFP+ connectors, eliminating the need for separate modules and simplifying rack-to-rack or chassis-to-chassis interconnects in data centers and network closets. It delivers low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference while supporting standard 10GBase-SR signaling over a compact, lightweight cable.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces component count and deployment time by providing plug-and-play SFP+ connectivity without separate transceivers. Optical transmission ensures EMI immunity and stable performance in electrically noisy environments. The 10 m length offers flexibility for typical short-reach top-of-rack and adjacent-rack cabling runs while maintaining low power consumption compared with active copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• 10 Gb/s uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch connections in dense rack environments
• Storage array interconnects and SAN links over short distances
• High-density patching where reduced weight and EMI immunity are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gb/s (10GBase-SR compatible signaling)
• Length: 10 metres
• Medium: multimode active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Typical latency: low, suitable for performance-sensitive applications
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference by virtue of optical link
• Power consumption: low relative to equivalent active copper solutions

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch clicks. Ensure devices are powered and configured for 10 Gb/s operation; most compatible switches and servers will autodetect the link. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress and secure it with appropriate cable management to maintain the minimum bend radius. No separate transceiver installation or fiber patching is required.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m AOC for short-range connections inside racks or between adjacent racks. Verify compatibility with host equipment vendor requirements for SFP+ optical modules where required by firmware policies. Maintain the cable within recommended bend radius and avoid tensile stress to preserve optical performance.
