Cavo ottico attivo AOC CBO AOC-SFP-10G-2M-BO, SFP+ a SFP+, 2 m, 10 Gbit/s

AOC CBO AOC-SFP-10G-2M-BO active optical cable is a 2 meter SFP+ to SFP+ link engineered for 10 Gbit/s connections between network switches, servers and storage equipment. The cable integrates optical transceivers within a single, factory-terminated assembly to eliminate separate modules and simplify rack cabling. Its design provides electrical isolation, low latency and predictable signal integrity for short-reach high-speed interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and provides electrical isolation between connected devices while maintaining 10 Gbit/s throughput. At 2 m length the cable offers a compact, low-profile alternative to traditional fiber patch panels and separate transceivers, lowering installation complexity and saving rack space. Built for hot-pluggable SFP+ ports, the cable delivers consistent latency and energy-efficient operation compared with many copper alternatives.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Direct connections from servers to switches
• Storage area network links where short-reach 10Gb connectivity is required
• High-density rack environments where space and cable management matter

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 2 meters
• Cable type: active optical cable (integrated optical transceivers)
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage systems

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP+ ports and are powered off or ready for hot-plug insertion according to your equipment guidelines. Insert each SFP+ end of the active optical cable into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and configure network settings as required. Remove the cable by depressing the latch and pulling the connector straight out to avoid damaging ports.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach 10Gb connections within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii. Keep connectors clean and replace dust caps when not in use. Confirm device compatibility and firmware support for third-party active optical cables when deploying in managed network equipment.
