Cable óptico activo SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M — 10G, 1 m, SFP+ Direct-Attach AOC

The CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M is a 1-metre active optical cable designed for SFP+ direct-attach installations and rated for 10 Gbps links. It provides a low-latency optical connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers or network appliances, intended for short-reach 10G connectivity in data centers and high-performance network environments. The cable uses optical transmission to reduce electromagnetic interference and offers a compact, lightweight alternative to copper direct-attach cables.

Advantages

This 10G SFP+ active optical cable delivers stable high-speed transmission with low latency suitable for uplinks and server-to-switch connections. Its 1 m length simplifies cable management in dense racks while preserving signal integrity. Compared with copper DACs, the optical design reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and can improve thermal performance in congested installations. The cable is compatible with standard SFP+ ports and supports plug-and-play deployment without additional transceivers.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation equipment
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage direct connections
• High-performance networking within racks or short inter-rack links
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ direct-attach active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Transmission medium: optical fiber (active)
• Typical use: short-reach 10G links, low-latency connections
• Form factor: SFP+ on both ends for direct port insertion

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network device until it latches. Ensure ports on both devices are powered and configured to operate at 10 Gbps or set to auto-negotiate if supported. Verify link status on both endpoints after insertion. The cable requires no separate transceivers or external power and functions as a direct optical link between two SFP+ ports.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector housings when installing or removing to avoid bending the fiber near the connector. Maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer when routing within racks. Use the 1 m length for short rack-to-rack or server-to-switch connections to minimize excess slack. Confirm compatibility with device vendor port firmware if vendor locking is a concern.
