Cable óptico activo SFP+ CBO para Zyxel SFP-AOC-10G-7M 10Gbps 7m

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO for Zyxel SFP-AOC-10G-7M 10Gbps 7m is a factory-terminated fiber link that delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over a 7-metre reach. It integrates SFP+ connectors and optical fiber in a single cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and reducing cabling complexity in server, switch and storage interconnects. The cable is designed for short-reach data centre and enterprise use where low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

The AOC provides full 10 Gigabit performance with reduced power consumption compared with separate transceiver and copper solutions. As an active optical assembly, it offers lower weight and improved signal integrity over longer copper runs, while its factory-terminated connectors simplify installation and inventory management. The integrated design reduces electromagnetic interference and supports reliable high-speed links in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10 Gbps uplinks between switches and servers
• Switch-to-storage connections in enterprise networks
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row data centre cabling
• Environments where reduced EMI and low latency are important

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Reach: 7 metres over multimode optical fiber
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor, hot-pluggable
• Cable type: Active optical cable (factory-terminated)
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for server and storage interconnects
• EMI immunity: optical link reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling
• Power characteristics: lower module power consumption compared with separate transceiver plus DAC solutions

How to use

Install the SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ end into compatible SFP+ ports on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated and that connected devices are powered and configured for 10 Gbps operation. No additional transceivers, patch cords, or fibre termination are required. Monitor link status via the device interfaces and verify negotiated speed and link lights according to the host equipment documentation.

Recommendations

Use the cable within rack or short in-row runs to maintain specified performance and protect the assembly from tight bends and excessive pulling force. Verify compatibility with the target devices' SFP+ port and firmware; consult device documentation for any vendor-specific requirements. For permanent or longer-distance links, consider standard optical transceivers and patch fibre instead of an AOC.
