Cable óptico activo SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10 Gigabit 5 m para puertos SFP+

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M is a factory-terminated 10 Gigabit AOC designed for direct connection between SFP+ ports. This 5 metre duplex fiber link integrates optical transceivers and a low-loss fiber cable into a single assembly, enabling low-latency, energy-efficient 10G connectivity without separate hot-pluggable transceivers. The cable is intended for short-reach interconnects in data centres, server and switch racks where compact cabling and reliable high-speed links are required.

Advantages

The integrated design eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers, reducing component count and simplifying installation. With a fixed 5 m length and duplex optical pairs, the cable provides predictable performance and minimal signal loss for 10 Gigabit links. Its low power consumption and low latency characteristics make it suitable for environments that prioritise energy efficiency and responsive data transfer. The plug-and-play nature ensures rapid deployment without additional configuration.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between SFP+ ports on switches and servers
• Rack-to-rack interconnects within data centres
• High-speed uplinks in top-of-rack or end-of-row deployments
• Storage area network (SAN) or server-to-storage links requiring 10G bandwidth

Key specifications

• Link type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with integrated SFP+ modules
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 5 metres duplex
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor plugs on both ends
• Transmission medium: Duplex multimode optical fiber
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power consumption: low compared with discrete transceiver plus cable solutions

How to use

Insert each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices such as switches, servers or storage units until the connector latches. Ensure the cable length and routing provide sufficient slack and avoid sharp bends that exceed the specified bend radius for optical fiber. Once connected, devices typically detect the link automatically and negotiate 10G operation without additional configuration. For removal, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Route the cable away from sources of mechanical stress and secure it with gentle clips or Velcro straps; avoid zip ties that can crush the fiber. Confirm SFP+ port compatibility with vendor documentation and use in environments within the manufacturer’s operating temperature and humidity ranges. For reliable performance, keep optical connectors clean and inspect for contamination before installation.
