Cabo ótico ativo AOC SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10 Gbps, 1 m

The AOC SFP+ active optical cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10 Gbps, 1 m is a factory-terminated fiber cable assembly providing 10 Gbps SFP+ connectivity over a one-metre optical link. Manufactured by BlueOptics for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections, the cable is intended for direct attachment between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage systems. As an active optical cable, it integrates transceiver electronics and optical fibre to reduce electromagnetic interference and lower power dissipation compared with equivalent copper twinax solutions.

Advantages

The AOC delivers 10 Gbps line-rate performance with low latency for short interconnects while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Its optical construction provides electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic noise, and the integrated design simplifies installation and cable management in dense rack environments. The 1 m length is suitable for direct device-to-device links inside racks or between adjacent racks where consistent optical performance and reduced heat are required.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch connections inside a rack
• Switch-to-switch links for short-reach high-bandwidth fabrics
• Storage array to host connections requiring SFP+ ports
• Environments where reduced EMI and improved cable density are needed

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Cable type: Active optical cable (factory-terminated)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends
• Reach: Short-reach, designed for intra-rack and adjacent-rack links
• Power: Integrated transceiver electronics with lower power dissipation than comparable copper twinax
• EMI performance: Optical link provides electrical isolation and reduced electromagnetic interference

How to use

Insert the SFP+ connector ends into compatible SFP+ ports on the networking devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and are configured for 10 Gbps operation. There is no need for separate fibre patch cords or transceivers; the cable ships ready to use. Verify link lights and interface status on the connected devices to confirm successful negotiation and data transmission.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short, high-speed links inside racks or between adjacent racks and avoid bending the optical cable beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep connectors clean and free of dust; inspect and, if necessary, use appropriate cleaning tools before insertion. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ AOC assemblies and check firmware or vendor notes if link auto-negotiation issues occur.
