Cable óptico activo AOC SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10G 2 m

AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10G 2 m is a factory-terminated, fixed-length 2 metre optical connection designed for SFP+ ports. The cable provides a 10 Gbps full-duplex link for short-reach connections between switches, servers and storage systems. By combining the transceiver electronics with the optical fiber in a single assembly, this active optical cable removes the need for separate SFP+ modules and fiber patch cords while maintaining signal integrity and reducing rack cabling complexity.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers 10 Gbps bandwidth over a compact 2 m form factor, enabling reliable short-reach connections with lower power consumption compared with some discrete transceiver-plus-patch solutions. The integrated design simplifies deployment and inventory management because a single, fixed-length cable replaces both transceivers and patch fibres. Built for data centre and enterprise networking environments, the cable reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference risks typical of copper assemblies and supports consistent link performance across compatible SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack interconnects in data centres
• Switch-to-server and switch-to-storage uplinks
• Short-reach links inside network cabinets and wiring channels
• High-density patching where space and cable management are critical

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable, fixed length
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector compatibility: standard SFP+ ports
• Transmission medium: integrated optical fiber with active electronics
• Typical applications: short-reach intra-rack and inter-rack links
• EMI characteristics: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured to use 10 Gbps SFP+ links; the cable is plug-and-play with compliant SFP+ interfaces. Verify link status via device LEDs or management software and confirm negotiated speed and duplex. When removing the cable, depress the latch mechanism before pulling the connector straight out to avoid damage to the port or connector.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this cable for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks where the 2 m length is sufficient. Avoid tight bends and excessive strain on the cable; follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius guidance and secure the cable to prevent movement that could stress the connectors. Ensure compatibility with device vendor SFP+ policies if equipment enforces module/vendor checks before operation.
