Cable óptico activo AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G, SFP+ a SFP+, 1 m

AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G Active Optical Cable, SFP+ to SFP+, 1 m is a 1-metre active optical cable engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports. Intended for short-reach interconnects in server racks, switches and storage arrays, the cable uses optical transmission to deliver low latency and lower power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct-attach solutions. Its compact SFP+ ends and single-cable form factor help simplify cabling in dense rack environments and connect standard SFP+ ports without additional transceiver modules.

Advantages

The active optical cable provides 10 Gbps bandwidth over a 1 m link while maintaining signal integrity and low jitter suitable for high-speed networking. Optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and offers improved thermal and power characteristics versus copper alternatives. The integrated SFP+ connectors enable plug-and-play installation into compatible SFP+ ports, helping to streamline deployment and reduce the need for separate transceiver units. The thin, lightweight cable design eases cable management in dense chassis and top-of-rack configurations.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between servers and top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-speed storage interconnects and SAN networking
• Data centre and colocation rack deployments with constrained cable routing

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps)
• Length: 1 metre
• Medium: Active optical cable
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power consumption: lower than comparable copper direct-attach links
• Form factor: compact thin cable for dense cabling environments

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support active optical cable links at 10 Gbps and verify link status via the device LEDs or management interface. No separate transceivers or external power are required; the connected devices provide necessary power and negotiation. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it to prevent damage to the connector ends.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m active optical cable in short-reach scenarios inside racks or between adjacent racks. Maintain minimum bend radius recommended by the manufacturer, avoid tensile stress on the connectors, and confirm device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules. For high-density environments, label both ends to simplify maintenance and ensure proper airflow is preserved around cable runs.
