CBO Cabo ótico ativo SFP+ AOC 10G 1m compatível com IBM SFP-AOC-10G-1M

The CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable AOC 10G 1m compatible with IBM SFP-AOC-10G-1M is a factory-terminated direct AOC designed for short-reach, high-speed connections between SFP+ ports. This 1-metre cable integrates optical transceivers and fiber in a single assembly, delivering a 10 Gbps data rate with low latency and reduced power consumption compared with separate transceiver plus copper cabling. The AOC simplifies cabling by eliminating separate SFP+ modules and supports energy-efficient optical transmission for data center and enterprise networking environments.

Advantages

The active optical construction provides consistent 10 Gbps performance over 1 metre while lowering heat and electrical power requirements compared to traditional copper DACs with separate transceivers. Integration of the optical transceivers into the cable reduces installation complexity and risk of mismatched modules. The cable is designed for compatibility with devices that accept SFP+ AOC solutions, enabling plug-and-play deployment and minimizing signal loss and interference typical of copper cabling in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch connections in rack-mounted deployments
• High-density data center top-of-rack interconnects
• Network environments requiring low-latency 10G links

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor on both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (integrated optics and fibre)
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive traffic
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent solutions with separate transceivers
• Operating environment: designed for data center and enterprise rack use

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both connected devices support SFP+ AOC modules and are powered off or in a state recommended by the equipment vendor if hot-plug rules require it. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed in device management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it within the rack to maintain proper bend radius and airflow.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its specified 1-metre length for optimal signal integrity; avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius and protect the integrated connectors from contaminants. Verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor’s supported transceivers list to ensure link stability and firmware compatibility.
