CBO kabel SFP-AOC-10G-3M — 10G passieve optische SFP+ Active Optical-kabel, 3 m

The CBO Cable SFP-AOC-10G-3M — 10G Passive Optical SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 3 m is a 3‑metre SFP+ active optical cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between SFP+ ports. Intended for direct device-to-device links, this cable delivers low-latency, energy-efficient optical transmission suitable for connections within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers and server rooms. It supports standard SFP+ form-factor connections and is designed to simplify short-range 10G deployments without the need for transceivers plus separate fiber patch cords.

Advantages

This CBO 10G active optical cable provides a compact, plug-and-play solution that reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. The optical design lowers power consumption and thermal output versus comparable active copper cables, while the 3 m length offers flexibility for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment links. Compatibility with SFP+ ports and a single-cable installation minimizes cable management complexity and physical footprint.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers within a rack
• Inter-rack connections in adjacent cabinets or short data center aisles
• High-performance storage networking and SAN uplinks requiring low latency
• Environments where reduced heat and power consumption are desired

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (AOC)
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 3 metres
• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+
• Transmission medium: optical fiber within an integrated cable assembly
• Typical use: short-range intra-rack and adjacent-rack 10G connections

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected. Ensure both devices are compatible with SFP+ modules and that ports are enabled for 10G operation. No separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. After seating the connectors, verify link status on connected equipment and confirm negotiated speed and link integrity through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for active optical assemblies. Verify port compatibility and firmware support on switches and servers before deployment. Use the 3 m length for short-range links within racks or between adjacent cabinets rather than long-distance runs.
