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

The BlueOptics SFP-AOC-10G-50M is an active optical cable (AOC) that provides a 10Gbps SFP+ connection across a 50-meter optical link. It is engineered for short-range, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage systems in data centers and enterprise network environments. The cable reduces electromagnetic interference compared with copper and supports low-latency data transfer for demanding network traffic.

Advantages

This AOC delivers consistent 10Gbps throughput over a 50 m reach while maintaining low power consumption and minimal signal loss. The integrated optics eliminate the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and saving rack space. Its optical construction removes susceptibility to EMI and crosstalk, providing stable performance in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit connections between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Server-to-switch links in data center racks
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects requiring low latency
• High-density optical backplanes and consolidation of patching in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Reach: 50 meters over optical fiber
• Connector type: SFP+ form factor
• Cable type: Active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
• Transmission medium: Optical fiber (low EMI)
• Latency: Designed for low-latency links
• Power consumption: Low power per end compared with standalone transceivers

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port on the respective devices until it latches. Ensure devices are powered and configured for 10Gbps SFP+ operation and verify link status via device management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius for optical fiber. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required because the optics are integrated into the cable.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its specified 50 m reach and avoid excessive bending or crushing. Confirm compatibility with device vendor SFP+ port settings and firmware where vendor lock checks may be applied. Store and handle the cable by the connector housings and keep dust caps on unused ports during installation.
