Cabo de rede AOC SFP+ 10G 15M CBO, modelo SFP-AOC-10G-15M-F5-BO

CBO AOC SFP+ 10G 15M patch cable, model SFP-AOC-10G-15M-F5-BO is a Direct Attach Active Optical Cable (AOC) providing a fixed 15-metre optical link with SFP+ connectors at both ends. The cable is designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects between switches, servers and storage devices in data center and enterprise network environments. As an active optical solution, it integrates the optical transceivers and fibre in a single compact assembly to simplify cabling, reduce power consumption and lower latency compared with separate transceiver plus fibre assemblies.

Advantages

The AOC design offers a single, factory-terminated SFP+ connection that eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing installation time and potential connector loss. Its 15 m fixed length ensures predictable link characteristics and simplifies inventory management. Active optical technology provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference while maintaining 10 Gbps throughput and low power draw. The compact SFP+ form factor supports high-density switch ports and helps maintain effective airflow and rack layout.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches in top-of-rack or end-of-row deployments
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch connections in data centres
• Short-reach aggregation and access-layer uplinks in enterprise networks
• Environments requiring reduced cabling complexity and predictable channel lengths

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ connector at both ends compatible with SFP+ ports
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 15 metres fixed optical cable
• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC)
• Signal: Optical fibre with integrated transceiver electronics
• Application: Short-reach links within racks and between adjacent racks
• Power consumption: low-power active modules (typical for AOC solutions)

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and configured for 10 Gbps operation and that port settings match your network design. Do not bend the cable sharply; route it along standard cable management paths to avoid stress on the connectors. For link validation, check device port status and use network diagnostic tools or switch LEDs to confirm a stable 10 Gbps connection.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the connector housings, avoid excessive bending near the connector bodies, and route the 15 m assembly through cable managers or trays to prevent physical strain. Verify firmware and compatibility lists on switches where vendor compatibility is critical, and follow data centre grounding and airflow best practices to preserve signal integrity and equipment reliability.
