Cavo ottico attivo SFP+ CBO AOC-S-S-10G-7M-BO — 7 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO AOC-S-S-10G-7M-BO — 7 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution that provides a 7-metre optical link between compatible SFP+ ports. Built for short-range interconnects in data centres and enterprise networks, this active optical cable delivers a lightweight, low-latency connection with immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The cable is intended for use where SFP+ form-factor compatibility and high 10 Gbit/s throughput are required.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces signal loss over the 7 m distance while lowering cable weight and improving flexibility in dense cabling environments. Optical transmission ensures immunity to EMI and crosstalk, supporting stable 10 Gbit/s links for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or switch-to-storage connections. The pre-terminated SFP+ ends simplify installation and eliminate the need for separate transceivers and patch cords.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10 Gbit/s links between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Inter-switch connections within racks or between adjacent racks
• Storage area network (SAN) connections requiring SFP+ form-factor
• High-density cabling scenarios where weight and EMI immunity matter

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ compatible plug-in ends
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 7 metres
• Optical type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical latency: low, suitable for low-latency interconnects
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference
• Cable advantages: reduced weight and improved flexibility vs. copper DACs

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ ports on your networking devices until the module latches. Ensure that both devices are powered off or that hot-plug support is available according to the device documentation before insertion to avoid port errors. Verify link status in the device interface and configure port settings (speed, duplex, VLANs) as required by your network. For removal, release the module latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the SFP+ housing.

Recommendations

Use the cable within standard data centre temperature and bend-radius specifications, avoid tight bends near the connectors, and route the cable to minimize stress and interference from power equipment. Check device compatibility for SFP+ AOC support and firmware interoperability before deployment.
