Cabo ótico ativo SFP+ CBO para Ubiquity Networks SFP-AOC-10G-7M — 10 Gbps, 7 m

The SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO for Ubiquity Networks SFP-AOC-10G-7M is a 7-metre active optical cable engineered for 10 Gbps SFP+ ports and designed to work with Ubiquity Networks equipment. It combines fiber-optic signalling and integrated transceiver electronics in a single cable assembly, enabling a direct 10 Gigabit connection between SFP+ ports without separate optical modules. The cable is intended for short-reach interconnects in data centers, server racks and network switch clusters where a low-latency, high-bandwidth link is required.

Advantages

The active optical cable offers reduced power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct-attach cables while maintaining stable 10 Gbps throughput. Integrated optical transceivers eliminate the need for separate SFP+ modules, simplifying inventory and installation. Over a 7-metre span the cable provides consistent signal quality and electromagnetic immunity typical of fiber-based links, which helps reduce interference in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach server-to-switch or switch-to-switch interconnects
• High-density rack cabling in data centers
• 10 Gigabit uplinks between aggregation and core switches
• Low-latency connections for storage and compute clusters

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form-factor active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps bi-directional
• Cable length: 7 metres
• Optical medium: single-mode or multimode optical fiber with integrated transceiver electronics (as implemented in the cable assembly)
• Latency: low-latency optical link suitable for short-reach applications
• Power: lower power consumption compared with equivalent copper DACs
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports and interoperability with Ubiquity Networks SFP+ interfaces

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until it latches. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and device link indicators confirm an active 10 Gbps connection. No separate optical transceivers are required. Check device firmware and switch compatibility lists if link negotiation does not complete; some switches may need specific port settings or firmware support to accept third-party active optical cables.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. Use proper cable management in racks to prevent stress on SFP+ connectors and to preserve signal integrity. For reliable operation, verify SFP+ port settings on Ubiquity devices and keep device firmware up to date. When planning installations, prefer this AOC for distances up to 7 metres where fiber immunity to electromagnetic interference and lower power draw are priorities.
