CBO AOC Coriant SFP-AOC-10G-10M cavo ottico attivo 10 m SFP+

The CBO AOC Coriant SFP-AOC-10G-10M active optical cable 10 m SFP+ is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. With a 10 metre optical assembly and fixed SFP+ connectors at both ends, this active optical cable provides high-bandwidth, low-latency transmission suitable for short-reach connections between switches, servers and storage systems. The optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference and offers lower power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct-attach cables, making it appropriate for dense data centre and enterprise networking environments.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers consistent 10 Gigabit performance over a 10 m reach with the convenience of a fixed SFP+ form factor. Optical transmission minimises EMI and crosstalk while enabling lower power draw versus copper alternatives. The single-piece design simplifies installation and cable management in rack and cabinet environments, and the plug-and-play SFP+ connectors ensure broad interoperability with SFP+ ports on networking equipment that accept direct-attach optical modules.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 10 Gigabit Ethernet links
• High-density data centre top-of-rack and middle-of-row interconnects
• Storage area network (SAN) uplinks and aggregation ports
• Enterprise networking deployments where reduced EMI and lower power are desired

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ fixed optical connectors on both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 10 metres
• Transmission medium: optical fiber for short-reach links
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for server and storage interconnects
• Power: lower power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct-attach cables

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on networking equipment until the module clicks into place. Ensure both devices support SFP+ direct-attach optical modules and are powered off or that hot-plug procedures for your equipment are followed. After insertion, verify link status and negotiate 10 Gigabit operation through the device management interface. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the specified bend radius for optical assemblies.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this active optical cable in environments with compatible SFP+ ports and within the specified 10 m reach. Avoid tight bending, excessive pulling, or crushing of the cable and keep connectors free from dust; when not in use, protect connector ends with dust caps. For interoperability, confirm device compatibility with SFP+ optical direct-attach modules in vendor documentation before deployment.
