Cabo AOC SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M 10G 50 m cabo ótico ativo para portas SFP+

The SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-50M is an active optical cable that provides 10 Gbps point-to-point connectivity over a 50 m optical link for devices with SFP+ ports. Designed for short-reach high-speed links in data centers, switches and routers, this SFP+ form-factor cable offers plug-and-play installation and replaces traditional copper twinax for longer reach and lower electromagnetic interference. The cable integrates optical transceivers and fiber, simplifying cabling and reducing the number of separate components required for high-density network deployments.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces signal attenuation over longer short-reach distances while maintaining 10 Gbps throughput and low latency. Compared with copper alternatives, the SFP+ AOC cable offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and improved thermal performance. The standardized SFP+ connectors ensure compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ modules and enable hot-plug installation without additional configuration. The integrated cable design reduces rack clutter and simplifies cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps uplinks between switches in data center racks
• Server-to-switch connections requiring 50 m reach
• Interconnects between aggregation switches and access switches
• Environments where reduced EMI and improved signal integrity are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 50 meters
• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends
• Transmission medium: optical fiber (single-mode or multimode as supported by device optics)
• Latency: low, suitable for short-reach high-speed links
• EMI behavior: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling

How to use

Install the SFP+ AOC cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and that ports are enabled for 10 Gbps operation. The cable is plug-and-play and typically requires no additional driver installation; check device firmware for any necessary compatibility notes. Verify link status and speed via device management interfaces after connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and protect connectors when racking equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within its specified 50 m range and avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and keep device firmware up to date. In high-density installations, label both ends of the cable and use proper cable management to maintain airflow and ease of maintenance.
