CBO SFP+ cavo ottico attivo SFP-AOC-10G-10M-NV-BO, 10 m, 10 Gbps

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M-NV-BO is a 10 m SFP+ direct-connect solution that supports 10 Gbps links. The pre-terminated AOC integrates SFP+ transceivers and optical fiber in a single assembly, providing a compact, low-power and low-latency connection between network switches, servers and storage devices. Designed for reliable short-range optical links, this 10 m cable is intended for data center interconnects and high-speed uplinks where predictable performance and simplified deployment are required.

Advantages

The integrated SFP+ modules and multimode optical fiber reduce the number of separate components and eliminate the need for field-terminated fiber connectors, enabling faster installation and fewer failure points. Low power consumption and minimal signal conversion latency preserve throughput at 10 Gbps, while the pre-terminated design simplifies inventory and spare-part management. The cable form factor ensures consistent optical performance across the entire 10 m length for short-reach links inside racks and across adjacent cabinets.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch uplinks
• Server-to-switch direct connections in data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) short-range links
• High-density patching panels and blade server enclosures

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (integrated transceivers and fiber)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (hot-pluggable)
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber integrated in AOC
• Latency: minimal/low due to direct optical link
• Power consumption: low compared with separate transceiver solutions
• Typical use range: short-reach / intra-rack and adjacent-rack links

How to use

Install the cable by hot-plugging the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers or storage devices. Ensure devices are powered and configured to accept 10 Gbps links and that port firmware or driver settings do not restrict link negotiation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius and secure the cable to prevent accidental disconnection. After insertion, verify link state and speed through device management interfaces or LEDs.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-range optical connections within racks or between adjacent cabinets, and avoid using it for extended runs beyond the specified 10 m. Confirm SFP+ port compatibility with vendor equipment and update firmware if required. Store and handle the cable to prevent excessive bending, crushing or contaminating connectors; clean connectors only with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools if necessary.
