Cabo AOC SFP+ Direct Attach CBO para Palo Alto Networks SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10G 2 m

The AOC SFP+ Direct Attach Cable CBO for Palo Alto Networks SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10G 2 m is an active optical cable designed for short-reach, high-speed connections between SFP+ ports in switches, routers and firewalls. Manufactured by BlueOptics, this 2-meter cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and provides a plug-and-play interface for compatible devices, delivering low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers a lightweight and flexible alternative to copper DACs for short-distance 10 GbE links. The AOC design ensures stable signal quality with lower power consumption and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Compatibility with Palo Alto Networks SFP-AOC-10G-2M makes it suitable for direct connections without additional transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing rack complexity.

Suitable for

• Direct 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports in switches and routers
• High-speed links to firewalls and security appliances with SFP+ interfaces
• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch uplinks within racks or between adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ (active optical cable)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 2 m
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Designed for short-reach links with low latency and reduced EMI

How to use

Install the AOC SFP+ plug directly into the SFP+ ports of the two devices to be connected, ensuring each connector is fully seated and the device ports are powered. No additional configuration is required beyond standard port settings in the network devices. Verify link status and speed in the device management interface to confirm a 10 GbE connection. For best results, route the cable to avoid excessive bending and strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m active optical cable for short-distance links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and stress on the cable; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius. Confirm device compatibility with Palo Alto Networks SFP-AOC-10G-2M compatibility lists or port documentation before deployment to ensure plug-and-play operation.
