Cabo ótico ativo CBO Coriant SFP-AOC-10G-3M SFP+ 10Gbps, 3 m

CBO Coriant SFP-AOC-10G-3M Active Optical Cable SFP+ 10Gbps, 3 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach optical link designed for short-range, high-bandwidth connections. This 3-meter active optical cable integrates transceiver electronics and optical fiber in a single assembly, enabling 10 Gbps data transfers with reduced power consumption and minimal latency compared with separate transceivers and patch cords. The cable is intended for use in dense network environments where reliable rack-to-rack and switch-to-server links are required.

Advantages

The integrated design eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers and fiber patching, simplifying installation and inventory management. Low electrical power draw and active optical components deliver stable 10 Gbps performance over the specified 3 m distance while reducing heat generation in equipment racks. The plug-and-play SFP+ module form factor allows compatible switches and servers to recognize the link without additional configuration.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack links in data centers and server rooms
• Switch-to-server connections requiring 10 Gbps throughput
• Top-of-rack (ToR) and spine-leaf fabrics
• High-density cabling scenarios where space and power efficiency matter

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ plug-and-play active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Physical form factor: SFP+ connectors on both ends
• Latency: low, suitable for time-sensitive network traffic
• Power consumption: low active power compared with discrete transceiver plus fiber
• Usage environment: designed for short-reach intra-rack and inter-rack connections

How to use

Install the SFP-AOC-10G-3M by inserting each SFP+ connector into the appropriate SFP+ port on the two devices you intend to connect, ensuring the latch engages. No separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. After physical insertion the devices should detect the link automatically; verify link status through switch or server LEDs or management interfaces. For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends in the cable and secure the cable to prevent tension on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this 3 m active optical cable for short-range 10 Gbps connections inside racks and between adjacent racks. Confirm SFP+ compatibility with your network equipment vendor list if using third-party hardware, and follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the connectors. Replace the cable if the connector housings show physical damage or if link errors persist after troubleshooting.
