SFP+ AOC CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M Cabo ótico ativo 10G, 7 m, ficha LC

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-7M is a 7-meter active optical cable with an SFP+ form factor and LC connectors, designed to provide reliable 10 Gbps links for short- to medium-reach connections. The cable integrates optical transceivers at both ends, presenting a plug-and-play SFP+ interface to networking equipment and eliminating the need for separate module and fiber termination. It is intended for use between switches, servers, storage arrays and network appliances where low latency, reduced electromagnetic interference and compact cable management are required.

Advantages

The active optical construction ensures consistent 10 Gbps performance with low insertion loss and reduced crosstalk compared with copper alternatives. LC connectors and the SFP+ form factor allow straightforward integration with standard SFP+ ports without additional configuration. Optical transmission reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and supports longer distances than comparable direct-attach copper cables while keeping power consumption and heat generation low.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting top-of-rack and spine switches in data center racks
• Connecting servers to network interface cards or switches for 10G uplinks
• Linking storage systems and SAN appliances requiring 10 Gbps bandwidth
• Short- to medium-distance optical links in network closets and equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible
• Connector type: LC duplex connectors
• Length: 7 meters
• Transmission medium: Multimode optical fiber with integrated transceivers
• Typical latency: low, suitable for high-throughput networking

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ end of the cable into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the two devices to be connected. Ensure devices are powered and that ports support SFP+ 10 Gbps links; the cable is plug-and-play and requires no user configuration on most modern switches and servers. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; secure as needed to maintain tidy cable management and proper airflow in racks.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility with the SFP+ ports on your network equipment and avoid exceeding bend radius limits specified by the manufacturer. Use the 7 m AOC for in-rack and adjacent-rack connections where optical isolation and reduced EMI are beneficial. Periodically inspect connectors for dust and clean with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools when needed.
