AOC Cabo ótico ativo SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M para 10 Gbit/s, 15 m

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M for 10Gbps, 15 m is a pre-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution designed to deliver 10 Gigabit per second connections over a 15-metre fibre link. It is intended for use with SFP+ ports in switches, servers and storage arrays, providing a single integrated cable assembly that replaces separate transceivers and patch cords. The active optical design offers low latency and high bandwidth while reducing susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling.

Advantages

This 15 m active optical cable combines compact SFP+ connectivity with the signal integrity of optical transmission, enabling consistent 10Gbps throughput across medium rack-to-rack distances. The integrated cable assembly simplifies rack cabling and inventory management by eliminating separate optics and fibre connectors. Its reduced electromagnetic interference and lower power profile compared with some copper alternatives make it suitable for dense data centre environments where signal quality and space efficiency are important.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centres and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems with SFP+ ports
• High-bandwidth links for virtualization hosts and high-performance servers
• Environments that require reduced electromagnetic interference and predictable latency

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ integrated active optical cable
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 15 metres
• Transmission medium: optical fibre with active transceivers integrated into cable ends
• Typical use: short- to medium-range rack interconnects
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications

How to use

Insert each SFP+ module end into the corresponding SFP+ port on your switch, server or storage device until it latches; the cable is hot-pluggable and requires no separate transceiver installation. Ensure both devices support 10Gbps SFP+ links and that firmware or vendor compatibility settings (if any) are configured according to the device manufacturer’s guidance. Route the 15 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by the manufacturer to preserve optical performance. Verify link status LEDs or management interfaces to confirm the 10Gbps connection is established.

Recommendations

Use this Active Optical Cable for consistent 10Gbps links within racks and across adjacent racks in data centre installations. Avoid repeated tight bending and physical stress near connector ends; keep connectors free of dust and contamination when unplugged. For mixed-vendor environments, confirm compatibility notes for SFP+ modules in your network equipment and update device firmware if required to ensure reliable link negotiation.
