Cabo ótico ativo SFP+ CBO para Alcatel‑Lucent SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10Gbps 2m

The SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO for Alcatel‑Lucent SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10Gbps 2m is a factory-terminated, hot-pluggable 10 Gigabit link designed for short-range connections in data centers and network racks. This integrated SFP+ AOC combines transceiver electronics and duplex multimode optical fiber in a single 2 meter assembly, providing a compact and low-latency solution for direct server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or server-to-storage interconnects. Compatibility with Alcatel‑Lucent SFP+ ports ensures native plug-and-play operation without additional modules or fiber patch cords.

Advantages

The cable reduces cabling complexity by replacing separate transceivers and patch cords with a single, lightweight assembly that maintains 10 Gbps throughput. As an active optical cable, it offers lower power consumption and improved signal integrity over comparable copper DACs at the same reach. The integrated design simplifies inventory and deployment while supporting hot-swap replacement and predictable latency for performance-sensitive applications.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10 GbE links between switches in network racks
• Server-to-switch or server-to-storage connections in data centers
• High-density top-of-rack cabling where space and airflow are constrained
• Environments that require low-latency, high-throughput interconnects

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ on both ends for direct insertion into compatible ports
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Length: 2.0 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable with integrated transceiver electronics and duplex multimode fiber
• Form factor: Hot-pluggable SFP+ module housing
• Typical use: Short-reach interconnects within racks and adjacent racks

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP+ ports and are powered off or in a state that allows hot-plugging. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches, then verify link status via the device LEDs or management interface. No additional fiber patch cords or separate transceivers are required. To remove, depress the latch and extract the connector while observing proper ESD precautions.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use the cable within the specified 2 m length and avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the fiber assembly. Maintain adequate airflow around populated ports, verify firmware or compatibility advisories for Alcatel‑Lucent equipment, and handle connectors by the housing to minimize contamination. Store unused cables in protective packaging to prevent dust and physical damage.
