Cabo ótico ativo SFP+ CBO Chelsio SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m

CBO Chelsio SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-10M 10 m is a 10-metre SFP+ active optical cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. Intended for short-range interconnects between servers, switches and network interface cards with SFP+ ports, this cable uses active optical transceivers integrated into the assembly to deliver high data rates with low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The cable offers a compact, lightweight solution for data centre and enterprise rack-to-rack connections where reliable 10 Gb/s performance and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces insertion loss over longer short-reach runs and eliminates the bulk and weight of equivalent copper assemblies. Built for standard SFP+ sockets, it supports hot-plugging and simplifies installation without additional transceiver modules. The optical medium reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and the integrated active electronics ensure consistent signal levels across the 10-metre distance.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers
• Top-of-rack and rack-to-rack interconnections in data centres
• Connections between NICs and switch SFP+ ports for low-latency applications
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference where optical links are preferred

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable assembly
• Data rate: up to 10 Gb/s
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Transmission medium: active multimode optical link with integrated transceivers
• Typical use: short-reach server, switch and NIC interconnects
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for performance-sensitive networks

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected, ensuring the retaining latch engages. Devices should be powered according to their manufacturer instructions; the cable's active components draw power from the SFP+ host ports. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed in the device management interface. For hot-plugging, follow the host equipment guidelines to avoid link flapping or configuration resets.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable for reliable 10 Gb/s short-reach links within racks or across adjacent racks. Keep cable bends above the minimum bend radius specified by the host device and avoid tight coils. When deploying in mixed-vendor environments, verify SFP+ compatibility and firmware support on switches and NICs prior to large-scale installation.
