Cabo AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10G 2m cabo ótico ativo para portas SFP+

The AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M is an active optical cable that delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over a 2-metre fibre assembly for devices equipped with SFP+ ports. This pre-terminated cable integrates SFP+ transceivers into a single assembly to provide a compact, low-latency connection between switches, servers and storage systems. It is designed for short-reach links in data centres and enterprise networks where a reliable 10G link and simplified cabling are required.

Advantages

The integrated SFP+ transceivers eliminate the need to install separate modules, reducing installation time and potential compatibility issues. As an active optical cable, it offers lower power consumption and improved signal integrity compared with comparable electrical copper cables at this data rate and distance. The 2-metre length supports flexible rack-to-rack and within-rack connections while maintaining consistent performance and minimal latency.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 10G links between switches in data centre topologies
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage connections within racks or adjacent racks
• High-density patching where pre-terminated, compact cabling reduces clutter
• Environments requiring low-latency, energy-efficient 10G connectivity

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Active optical cable with integrated SFP+ transceivers
• Length: 2 metres
• Interface: SFP+ compliant connectors for host ports
• Usage range: Short-reach links suitable for data centre and enterprise racks
• Signal medium: Optical fibre within an assembled AOC

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector directly into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors click into place and the host devices recognise the link. No field termination or separate transceiver modules are required. Verify link status through the host devices' port indicators or network management tools and confirm 10 Gbps operation. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends at the cable-to-connector transition to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this AOC for short-reach connections up to the specified 2-metre length, avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and ensure SFP+ ports on both ends support active optical assemblies. Keep connectors clean and protected from dust when not in use and verify compatibility with your switch or server firmware if required.
