Cabo ótico ativo AOC SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M 10 Gbit/s, 20 m

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-20M 10 Gbps, 20 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution that delivers 10 Gbps connectivity over a 20-metre multimode optical link. Designed for server, switch and storage interconnects in data centers and campus networks, this active optical cable integrates transceiver electronics with low-power optical fiber to provide a compact, low-latency connection without requiring separate SFP+ transceivers or patch cords. The cable supports standard SFP+ ports and provides predictable performance for short- to mid-range 10G links.

Advantages

This AOC provides high bandwidth with low latency and reduced power consumption compared with copper DAC alternatives. Its pre-terminated assembly simplifies installation and eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing inventory and deployment time. The 20 m length enables flexible rack-to-rack and cross-row connections while maintaining signal integrity and consistent 10 Gbps throughput suitable for modern data center topologies.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps uplinks between switches in data centre racks
• Server-to-switch connectivity in high-density server rooms
• Storage array connections requiring low-latency links
• Campus network aggregation and horizontal distribution

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ direct-attach active optical cable compatible with SFP+ ports
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 20 metres
• Media: multimode optical fiber with active transceiver electronics
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power: energy-efficient design compared with equivalent copper links
• Form factor: integrated cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support 10 Gbps SFP+ modules and verify link negotiation on the network interfaces. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is required; the pre-terminated AOC provides a single assembly for the full link. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid sources of mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the intended switch or server vendor and check port settings for 10G operation. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by multimode AOC guidance, keep the cable away from high-heat sources, and label both ends to simplify management in dense rack environments.
