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

SFP+ Active Optical Cable 10G 10m CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M is a 10 Gbps, 10‑metre SFP+ direct-attach optical link designed for high-speed interconnection between servers, switches and storage systems. The active optical construction provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while reducing power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct-attach cables. Its form factor fits standard SFP+ ports and supports short-reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks with low latency and consistent signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable combines 10 Gbps data throughput with a compact SFP+ footprint, delivering a lightweight, flexible alternative to copper. Active optics offer improved EMI immunity and electrical isolation, which enhances reliability in dense data-centre environments. Lower power draw and reduced heat dissipation make this cable suitable for high-density top-of-rack and server-to-switch uplinks where space and thermal budgets are constrained.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack (ToR) switch uplinks
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage connections
• Short-reach links within an equipment rack or between adjacent racks
• Environments requiring EMI immunity and electrical isolation

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ direct-attach optical ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Latency: low (suitable for latency-sensitive links)
• Power consumption: lower than comparable passive copper DACs
• Immunity: resistant to electromagnetic interference
• Compatibility: fits standard SFP+ ports for networking equipment

How to use

Install the SFP+ Active Optical Cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the connector latches. Verify link status indicators on both devices to confirm successful negotiation at 10 Gbps. No external power or configuration is required beyond standard port settings; however, ensure that the connected equipment supports SFP+ AOC modules. Route the cable within the rack to avoid sharp bends and to maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid exceeding the specified 10 metre length, prevent tight bends and kinks, and keep connectors clean and covered when not in use. Use this cable for short-reach interconnects where reduced EMI, lower power consumption and compact port density are priorities. Check device compatibility lists if vendor-specific compatibility notes are required.
