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

The SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-15M 10G 15 m is a factory-terminated optical twinax solution that provides a 10 Gbps SFP+ connection over a 15‑metre optical link. It uses the SFP+ form factor to connect switches, servers and storage systems for short‑reach, high‑speed interconnects. The cable assembly integrates transceivers and optical fiber in a single, low‑profile cable designed to simplify cabling and reduce the need for separate transceiver modules and patch cords in dense rack environments.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable delivers 10 Gbps bandwidth with low latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its integrated SFP+ connectors provide hot‑pluggable installation and automatic link negotiation with compatible ports. The 15 m reach expands flexible placement of equipment within racks and between adjacent rows while maintaining signal integrity and low power consumption typical for optical links.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and aggregation between switches
• Switch-to-switch short‑reach connections across aisles or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch links for 10 G server aggregation
• Storage networking where consistent 10 G throughput is required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor, hot‑pluggable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Maximum link length: 15 metres over optical cable
• Medium: active optical cable (integrated transceivers with fiber)
• Latency: low, suitable for latency‑sensitive networking
• Power consumption: low typical for SFP+ AOC solutions
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into a compatible SFP+ port until it latches, then verify link activity LEDs on the connected devices. No separate transceiver module or patch fibre termination is required because the cable is factory‑terminated. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with cable management to prevent strain on connectors. When removing the cable, press the SFP+ latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments within the specified ambient temperature and humidity ranges of your network equipment. Ensure the connected devices support 10 G SFP+ AOC connections and check port settings for correct speed and duplex. For high‑density deployments, plan cable routing and management to preserve airflow and ease of maintenance.
