Cabo ótico ativo SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10 Gbit/s, 15 m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M is a 15-meter SFP+ Active Optical Cable designed for 10 Gbps connectivity between network equipment with SFP+ ports. It delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth optical links for short-range interconnects in data centers, server rooms and network racks. The cable integrates transceivers and fibre in a single assembly to simplify deployment and reduce the number of separate components required for a 10 Gbps link.

Advantages

The active optical design provides consistent 10 Gbps throughput with minimal signal degradation over the 15 m length while maintaining low power consumption compared with traditional copper direct-attach solutions at similar speeds. Plug-and-play compatibility with SFP+ interfaces reduces configuration time and eliminates the need for separate optics and patch cords. The single-cable assembly offers compact routing, improved airflow in racks, and resistance to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense network environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Connections between servers and storage arrays within the same rack or adjacent racks
• Short-distance fiber connectivity in data center top-of-rack deployments
• Interconnects for virtualization hosts, SAN environments and cluster nodes

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (per link)
• Length: 15 meters
• Interface: SFP+ form factor (active optical cable)
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber within AOC assembly
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for time-sensitive applications
• Power usage: low power consumption compared with equivalent copper solutions
• Operating environment: designed for typical data center temperatures and rack installations

How to use

Install the CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. No separate transceiver modules or fiber patch cords are required. Ensure both ends are seated correctly and that connected devices are powered on; most switches and servers will recognise the link automatically and negotiate 10 Gbps operation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for optical assemblies. For best results, keep the cable away from sources of excessive heat and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the cable primarily for short-range, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Verify SFP+ port compatibility on both devices before installation and consult equipment documentation for any vendor-specific compatibility notes. Periodically inspect connector ends for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools if required.
