CBO actieve optische kabel SFP+ SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10 Gbit/s 15 m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M is an active optical cable with SFP+ connectors that supports 10Gbps data transfer over a 15-metre fiber link. Designed for short-range high-speed interconnects in data centres and network racks, this AOC provides low-latency, electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistant connectivity between compatible SFP+ ports. It is a fixed-length, plug-and-play solution for direct server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links where a reliable optical connection is required.

Advantages

The cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with low power consumption and minimal signal loss across a 15 m reach. Active optical technology eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, reducing cabinet clutter and simplifying installation. Its EMI immunity and inherent optical isolation improve signal integrity in dense rack environments. The SFP+ form-factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of network devices that accept SFP+ AOC modules.

Suitable for

• Server-to-top-of-rack or end-of-row switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch links within network racks or across adjacent equipment rows
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) interconnects and cluster computing nodes
• Environments requiring low-latency, EMI-resistant short-range links

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Medium: multimode active optical fiber
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power consumption: low-profile active modules integrated in cable ends
• Operating environment: designed for rack and data centre use

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the appropriate SFP+ port on your devices until the module latches. Ensure both network devices support SFP+ AOC modules and are powered off or have hot-swap capability per vendor guidelines when inserting or removing. After physical insertion, verify link status and negotiate 10Gbps operation via the devices' management interfaces. No external transceivers or additional fiber patching is required; the cable is a single, fixed-length connection.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable within racks to prevent movement. Confirm device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and check that firmware or driver versions do not restrict third-party active optical cables. For best performance, use in controlled temperature environments typical of data centres and avoid exposure to excessive dust or moisture.
