Cable óptico activo CBO SFP+ 10G 3M SFP-AOC-10G-3M-UQ-BO

BlueOptics Active Optical Cable SFP+ 10G 3M (model SFP-AOC-10G-3M-UQ-BO) is a pre-terminated, plug-and-play SFP+ direct connection cable that delivers a 10 Gbps link over a 3 meter optical channel. Intended for short-reach interconnects, this AOC integrates transceiver electronics and multimode optical fiber inside a single assembly, removing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords and reducing electromagnetic interference in dense networking environments such as data centers and server rooms.

Advantages

The cable provides a fixed, tested optical solution that simplifies installation and inventory management, supporting true 10 Gbps throughput with low latency and stable signal integrity across the 3 m span. Its integrated design reduces bulk in cable runs and eliminates compatibility issues related to separate SFP+ modules and fiber jumpers. The optical medium mitigates electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in high-density racks and network closets.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row networking interconnects
• Short-reach links inside server rooms and network closets
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ on both ends supporting 10 Gbps
• Link length: 3 meters optical cable
• Transmission speed: 10 Gigabits per second
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low, suitable for server and switch interconnects
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports supporting 10G AOC modules (vendor-dependent compatibility may apply)

How to use

Install the Active Optical Cable by inserting the SFP+ connectors into available 10G SFP+ ports on the devices to be linked. The cable is recognized as an integrated transceiver assembly, enabling plug-and-play operation without additional patch cords or separate modules. Ensure both devices support 10G SFP+ modules and have compatible port configurations. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on SFP+ connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify that network equipment firmware and vendor compatibility lists include support for 10G AOC modules. Use the cable for short-reach connections up to 3 m and route it to minimize sharp bends and mechanical stress. Keep SFP+ port dust covers in place when ports are unused and handle connectors by the housing to avoid contaminating optical interfaces.
