Cavo ottico attivo CBO AOC SFP+ CBL-SFP+AOC-7M 7 m per porte SFP+

CBO AOC SFP+ CBL-SFP+AOC-7M is a 7 meter active optical cable for SFP+ ports that provides a fiber-based direct connection between compatible network devices. The cable uses SFP+ form-factor connectors to link switches, servers or storage equipment over a 10 Gb/s class interface, while eliminating the susceptibility to electromagnetic interference typical of copper solutions. With a fixed 7 m length and compact connector ends, the cable is intended for short-reach rack, top-of-rack and rack-to-rack connections in data centers and enterprise wiring closets.

Advantages

The active optical design delivers stable high-speed links with low attenuation and immunity to EMI, which supports reliable 10 Gb/s transmission over the specified distance. Compact SFP+ connectors enable passive, tool-free installation into SFP+ ports and simplify cable routing in dense rack environments. The 7 m length balances reach and manageability for typical data center layouts and reduces the need for intermediate patch panels or transceivers.

Suitable for

• Connecting SFP+ ports between switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-density network environments where EMI reduction is required
• Top-of-rack uplinks and short-reach fibre links in data centers

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor optical connectors
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with fiber core
• Length: 7 meters
• Supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s class links (SFP+ compatible)
• Suitable media: short-reach multimode/OM-class fibre within specified reach
• Installation: passive insertion into SFP+ ports, no external power or transceivers required

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until the latch engages, ensuring proper orientation and a secure mechanical fit. Verify that both connected devices recognize the link and negotiate the appropriate speed and duplex settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for fibre optics to prevent signal degradation. No special configuration is normally required on compatible devices beyond standard port enabling.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, install the cable in protected rack channels or cable management trays, avoid tight bends and excessive tension, and keep connector endfaces clean. Use the 7 m length for direct rack-to-rack or within-rack SFP+ links and consult device compatibility lists if device interoperability questions arise.
