Cable óptico activo CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M 10 Gbit/s SFP+ 50 m

BlueOptics Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M is a 10 Gbps SFP+ active optical cable with a fixed 50 m length designed to connect SFP+ ports for high-speed data transmission. The single, factory-terminated assembly integrates optical transceivers with a lightweight, flexible cable to provide low latency, reduced electromagnetic interference and predictable signal performance over a 50-m reach. It is intended for use in data center and enterprise network environments where 10G links between switches, servers and storage devices are required.

Advantages

The cable delivers 10 Gbps full-duplex throughput with deterministic signal integrity across its entire 50 m length, while its optical medium eliminates copper-related EMI and ground loop issues. The integrated SFP+ connectors simplify installation by appearing as standard SFP+ modules to compatible ports, removing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Its thin, flexible form factor reduces rack congestion and eases routing in cable trays and server cabinets.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting top-of-rack and aggregation switches at 10 Gbps
• Direct links between servers and storage arrays in rack environments
• Short to medium reach connections inside data centers and telecom rooms
• Environments requiring low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Cable type: active optical cable (integrated optical transceivers)
• Length: fixed 50 meters
• Connector format: SFP+ form-factor plugs on both ends
• Latency: low propagation delay typical of optical links
• EMI immunity: optical transmission eliminates electromagnetic interference
• Compatibility: standard SFP+ ports supporting 10 Gbps modules

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end of the active optical cable into the SFP+ port of the devices to be connected until the module latches. Verify that link LEDs on both devices indicate an established 10 Gbps connection. No additional transceivers or fiber patch cords are required; the assembly is factory-terminated and ready for immediate use. For safety, handle the optical connectors by the housing and avoid touching the fiber ends. Power down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your equipment vendor if necessary before insertion or removal.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by the manufacturer. Keep connector dust caps in place until installation and use appropriate cleaning methods if contamination is suspected. Ensure both endpoints support SFP+ active optical modules and verify firmware or port configuration if the link does not come up at 10 Gbps.
