Cable óptico activo SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M 10G, 20 m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M is a 20 meter SFP+ Active Optical Cable that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet for short-reach interconnects. The cable integrates SFP+ connectors with optical fiber to provide a direct, plug-and-play connection between compatible SFP+ ports on switches, routers, servers and storage systems. It is intended for environments that require reliable 10G links over a distance of up to 20 m while providing reduced power consumption and electrical noise immunity compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable delivers low latency and stable throughput for 10G networks while offering immunity to electromagnetic interference. Its optical transmission reduces power dissipation relative to comparable copper cables and eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules. The fully integrated SFP+ form factor ensures straightforward installation and compatibility with equipment that supports SFP+ direct-attach optical connections.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch connections inside racks
• Short-reach connections between routers, storage arrays and compute nodes
• Network consolidation and top-of-rack deployments requiring 10G links within 20 m

Key specifications

• Transmission rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Cable length: 20 m
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (active optical)
• Transmission medium: optical fiber with active electronics
• Latency: low, suitable for high-throughput, time-sensitive traffic
• Power consumption: lower than typical copper direct-attach equivalents
• Electromagnetic immunity: immune to EMI/RFI

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into a compatible SFP+ port until the latch engages, ensuring both devices are powered and configured to use 10G links. No separate transceivers or fibers are required; the cable is plug-and-play with equipment supporting SFP+ active optical connections. Verify link status on the connected devices and configure network settings such as speed, duplex and VLANs as required by your network design. For multi-vendor environments consult compatibility lists or enable generic SFP+ support in device firmware if available.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use in indoor data center or equipment room environments and avoid exposure to excessive heat, moisture or direct sunlight. Confirm device compatibility and firmware settings before deployment to ensure stable 10G operation.
