Cable óptico activo CBO AOC SFP+ 10Gbit/s 10m compatible con Intel (SFP-AOC-10G-10M)

The Active Optical Cable CBO AOC SFP+ 10Gbps 10m Intel-compatible (SFP-AOC-10G-10M) is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution that provides a 10 Gbps full-duplex link over a 10-metre optical assembly. Designed for compatibility with Intel-based SFP+ ports, this AOC delivers low-latency optical transmission with immunity to electromagnetic interference and reduced power dissipation compared with long copper runs. The compact SFP+ form factor and fixed optical cable simplify cabling between switches, servers and storage appliances in data centers and enterprise racks while maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gbps.

Advantages

The AOC offers a predictable 10 Gbps optical connection with inherent EMI immunity, lightweight construction and lower power consumption than equivalent active copper assemblies. Being an SFP+ form factor, it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation time and potential connector mismatches. Its 10-metre reach enables flexible equipment placement in rack-to-rack and top-of-rack scenarios without sacrificing throughput.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Top-of-rack uplinks for switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch interconnects
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable high-speed links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ plug-in modules at both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full-duplex
• Length: 10 metres optical assembly
• Transmission medium: multimode/mode-optimized optical cable (factory-terminated AOC)
• Latency: low optical latency suitable for low-latency networks
• Power consumption: lower than typical long-reach copper direct-attach assemblies
• EMI immunity: inherent resistance to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the module latches. Ensure the host ports support SFP+ active optical cables and verify link status through device indicators or management interfaces. No separate transceivers or patch panels are required; handle the cable by the reinforced boot and avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. For removal, depress the latch and gently withdraw the connector.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with the equipment vendor’s supported SFP+ AOC list when possible and confirm that network device firmware accepts third-party Intel-compatible AOC assemblies. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and heat sources, maintain recommended bend radii, and test the link after installation using link LEDs and throughput/latency checks appropriate for 10 Gbps links.
