CBO InfiniBand SFP+ cabo ótico ativo 10G 20m — modelo 10G-SFPP-AOC-2001-BO

CBO InfiniBand SFP+ Active Optical Cable 10G 20m (model 10G-SFPP-AOC-2001-BO) is a pre-terminated 20-metre SFP+ compatible active optical link engineered for 10 Gigabit data transfers. The cable uses optical transmission to offer low latency and high bandwidth for connections between switches, servers and storage arrays in datacentres and high-performance computing clusters. Its SFP+ form factor enables hot-plug installation and compact cabling with lower electromagnetic interference compared to equivalent copper assemblies.

Advantages

The active optical design provides extended reach at full 10 Gbps rates while maintaining low power consumption and signal integrity over 20 metres. Using SFP+ connectors simplifies integration with existing 10G ports and allows tool-free installation and replacement. Optical media eliminates crosstalk and significantly reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, improving stability in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit links between top-of-rack and spine switches
• Inter-server connections in compute clusters and HPC environments
• Server-to-storage connectivity in SAN and NAS deployments
• Data centre cable trays and organised rack cabling where reduced EMI is required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor compatible with standard 10G SFP+ ports
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Length: 20 metres, pre-terminated
• Transmission medium: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low propagation delay suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Connector type: SFP+ duplex compatible
• Electromagnetic properties: optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference compared to copper

How to use

Ensure both devices support SFP+ 10G links and power them off if hot-plugging is not supported by the equipment. Align the SFP+ connector with the transceiver slot and press until the latch clicks; hot-plug installation is supported on most modern network switches and servers. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and check speed and duplex settings in the host operating system or switch management console. For clean optical performance, avoid tight bends near the cable ends and inspect connector endfaces for contamination before insertion.

Recommendations

Route the cable through designated cable management paths and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer to preserve optical performance. Keep connector endfaces capped when not in use and perform periodic inspection and cleaning with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools to prevent signal loss.
