Cabo ótico ativo CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10Gbit/s SFP+ AOC, 5 m

The BlueOptics Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M is a 5-meter SFP+ AOC designed for 10Gbps short-range links. It integrates fiber optic transmission within a thin, pre-terminated cable assembly that plugs directly into SFP+ ports, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. The cable is intended for high-density environments where low latency, immunity to electromagnetic interference and simple plug-and-play cabling are required.

Advantages

This SFP+ active optical cable supports 10Gbps data rates over a 5 m reach, offering a low-power, low-latency solution for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections. Its integrated Small Form-factor Pluggable connectors provide straightforward installation without separate fiber connectors or transceiver modules. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with copper alternatives, and the fixed-length design helps maintain tidy cable management in dense server and switch deployments.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches and aggregation equipment
• Server-to-switch connections within racks
• Storage area network interconnects and host links
• High-density network topologies requiring short-reach 10Gbps links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ connector at both ends
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 5 meters
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (single assembly with integrated transceivers)
• Typical use: short-range, intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections
• Advantages: low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Power off or follow hot-plug guidance for your network equipment if required by the vendor, then insert the SFP+ connectors into corresponding SFP+ ports on switches, servers or storage devices. Ensure both ends are fully seated and latched. Configure link settings on connected devices as necessary (speed, duplex, auto-negotiation, and any interface-specific parameters). Monitor link status through device management interfaces to confirm an active 10Gbps connection.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, observe the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and use suitable cable management to prevent stress at connector ends. Verify compatibility with your hardware vendor’s SFP+ port compatibility list if required, and keep the connectors clean and dust-free when handling or storing the cable.
