Cabo ótico ativo 10G CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 15 m SFP+ Direct-Attach

The BlueOptics Active Optical Cable 10G CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M is a 15-metre SFP+ direct-attach solution that supports 10 Gbps links for short- to medium-reach connections. It combines optical transmission with SFP+ form-factor connectors to provide electrical isolation and reduced power consumption compared with copper direct-attach cables. The cable is designed for interconnects between switches, servers and storage in data centre environments where reliable, low-latency 10Gbps connectivity is required.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers full 10 Gbps throughput over a 15 m distance while maintaining low latency and stable signal integrity. Its optical construction eliminates ground loop issues and provides better electromagnetic immunity than copper alternatives. The SFP+ connectors allow plug-and-play compatibility with ports that support SFP+ AOC modules, and the lighter, flexible cable jacket simplifies routing and reduces strain on equipment ports.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch uplinks
• Server-to-switch and server-to-storage interconnects
• High-density rack deployments and top-of-rack connections
• Environments requiring electrical isolation and reduced EMI

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ (direct-attach active optical)
• Transmission medium: optical fibre (active optical cable)
• Typical reach: short to medium (15 m)
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power: lower power consumption compared with equivalent copper DACs

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your network devices until the module engages. Confirm link status on both devices and verify that the ports are configured for 10 Gbps operation according to your switch or server settings. Avoid tight bends in the cable and secure the routing to prevent strain on the SFP+ connectors. If a device requires transceiver compatibility settings, refer to the device configuration to ensure the port accepts SFP+ AOC modules.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain minimum bend radii as specified by the manufacturer, route the cable away from sources of mechanical stress, and use appropriate port configurations to ensure 10Gbps link negotiation. Use in protected indoor data centre environments and verify device compatibility with SFP+ active optical attachments before deployment.
