Cable óptico activo AOC SFP+ CBO CBL-SFP+AOC-2M-BO 2 m de longitud

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO CBL-SFP+AOC-2M-BO 2 m length is a factory-terminated optical direct-attach solution designed for SFP+ ports. It provides a 2-metre optical connection for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between compatible switches, servers and storage systems. The cable combines optical transceivers and a pre-assembled duplex fiber link to deliver low-latency, low-power connectivity for short-reach data center and network top-of-rack deployments while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers lower signal attenuation and electromagnetic immunity compared with copper alternatives, enabling consistent 10GbE performance over the 2 m reach. Its factory-terminated SFP+ modules ensure plug-and-play installation and predictable interoperability with equipment that supports SFP+ AOC modules. The integrated design reduces rack clutter and simplifies inventory by combining the optical link and transceivers into a single assembly.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within racks and between adjacent racks
• Interconnecting SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage arrays
• High-density data center and top-of-rack cabling scenarios
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and lower latency are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor active optical cable
• Length: 2 metres
• Data rate: 10 Gbps class (SFP+ link)
• Media: duplex optical link with integrated transceivers
• Typical reach: short-reach (data center/top-of-rack distances)
• Power consumption: low power compared with comparable copper direct-attach solutions

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector end into the corresponding SFP+ slot on the network devices until the module latches. Ensure both devices support active optical cable modules and are powered off or follow hot-plug guidelines from the equipment manufacturer. After connecting, verify link status and speed through the device management interface or LEDs. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the connector housing.

Recommendations

Use this AOC for short-distance 10GbE links in rack and row deployments where low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are important. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force; store and handle the cable per standard optical cabling practices to preserve long-term performance.
