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

CBO AOC Coriant SFP-AOC-10G-1M is a 10G Active Optical Cable that provides a direct 10 gigabit-per-second link between SFP+ ports over a 1 metre optical assembly. The cable integrates optical transceivers into a single SFP+ to SFP+ plug‑and‑play assembly, eliminating the need for separate transceiver modules and fibre patch cords. It is intended for short-reach data centre interconnects where low latency, compact cabling and predictable optical performance are important.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable delivers 10 Gbps throughput with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling. The integrated SFP+ form-factor simplifies installation and cable management by avoiding separate transceivers and patch panels. With a 1 metre fibre assembly, the cable supports dense rack and cabinet layouts while reducing heat and power consumption associated with discrete transceivers. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports allows straightforward use with switches, servers and network interface cards that accept SFP+ optical modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between switches in the same rack or adjacent racks
• Direct server-to-switch connections using SFP+ ports
• High-speed interconnects in data centre top-of-rack deployments
• Environments requiring low-latency links and compact cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ (integrated optical connectors)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre optical assembly
• Transmission medium: single-mode/multi-mode optical fibre as specified by the manufacturer assembly
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor plugs on both ends
• Typical use: short-reach data centre and rack-level connections

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the SFP+ port of the devices to be connected, ensuring the connectors are aligned and fully seated. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required; the assembly is recognized by most SFP+ compatible switches and NICs as a single optical link. Verify link status LEDs on both devices after insertion and confirm negotiated link speed of 10 Gbps. For initial deployment, check device compatibility lists or vendor notes if equipment has vendor-locking features.

Recommendations

Handle the AOC by the connector bodies and avoid excessive bending or pulling on the cable. Maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer, keep connectors free of dust and install the cable in rack pathways to avoid mechanical stress. Use this 1 m AOC for short-distance connections inside racks or between adjacent racks; for longer links select an appropriate longer assembly or separate transceivers and fibre patching.
