CBO InfiniBand/AOC SFP+ cabo ótico ativo AOC-S-S-10G-1M-BO 10G 1 m

CBO InfiniBand/AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable AOC-S-S-10G-1M-BO 10G 1 m is a 1-metre active optical cable with SFP+ connectors designed for 10G links. The cable uses integrated optics to convert electrical signals to optical signals, delivering a compact, low-power connection suitable for short-reach data center interconnects. The blue cable is compatible with InfiniBand and standard SFP+ ports where active optical cabling is supported, and it is intended for use between switches, servers and storage equipment where electrical copper cabling is impractical.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable offers reduced power consumption compared with equivalent copper DACs for similar distances while maintaining 10G data throughput. The integrated SFP+ form-factor enables hot-pluggable installation into SFP+ ports, simplifying replacement and upgrades without additional transceivers. Optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and allows reliable short-reach connections across rack-to-rack and side-by-side equipment placements. The single-meter length provides a tidy, low-profile link for dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between switches in a rack or adjacent racks
• High-speed links between servers and storage arrays
• InfiniBand or SFP+ enabled network equipment that supports AOC modules
• Data center environments requiring low EMI and compact cabling

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 1 metre
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends, hot-pluggable
• Cable color: blue
• Usage: short-reach direct link for InfiniBand and SFP+ ports
• Signal medium: optical fibre with integrated transceivers

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support active optical cables and are powered down or handle hot-plugging according to the device manufacturer’s guidance. After insertion, verify link status and configuration in the devices’ management interfaces and confirm negotiated speed is 10G. Route the 1 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Handle the AOC by the connector housings and avoid pulling on the cable jacket. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by typical optical cable guidelines to preserve signal integrity. Use the cable for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks; do not exceed recommended bend radius or subject the cable to crushing forces. Verify device compatibility with vendor firmware and port settings if link negotiation issues occur.
