Actieve optische kabel 10G CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 2 m SFP+ directaansluiting

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M is a 2-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable provides a direct-attach, plug-and-play optical link between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage systems. With optical transmission over a short-reach AOC, it reduces electromagnetic interference and offers low-latency performance suitable for densely packed network racks and data centre topologies.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable delivers a compact and lightweight alternative to copper DACs, offering immunity to electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity over the 2 m length. SFP+ connectors provide hot-pluggable installation and compatibility with standard SFP+ ports on networking equipment. The optical medium supports consistent 10 Gigabit throughput while lowering heat generation and easing cable management in rack environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports between switches and routers in data centres
• High-speed links between servers and storage arrays
• Short-reach uplinks and cross-connects inside network racks
• Environments requiring EMI immunity and low-latency links

Key specifications

• Type: Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 2 m
• Connector: SFP+ plug-and-play, hot-swappable
• Medium: Optical fiber with integrated transceivers
• Latency: Low-latency design suitable for high-throughput links
• EMI: Immune to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into corresponding SFP+ ports on the host devices until the module latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that devices are powered according to vendor instructions. The cable is recognised as a direct-attach optical link and typically requires no additional configuration; verify link status and speed on the connected equipment's management interface. For removal, release the SFP+ latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid stress on the fibre assembly.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain near the connectors. Check compatibility with your network equipment's supported SFP+ modules and firmware; consult device documentation if vendor-specific transceiver restrictions apply.
