SFP+ Active Optical kabel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M-NK-BO — 10 Gbps, 10 m, SFP+ naar SFP+

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M-NK-BO is an SFP+ Active Optical Cable engineered for 10 Gbps short-reach connections over a 10 meter duplex link. The cable integrates SFP+ interfaces on both ends, providing a direct SFP+ to SFP+ link suitable for modern switches, servers and storage arrays. Its optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and supports low-latency data transfer, simplifying cabling in data centres, rack-to-rack interconnects and high-density network environments.

Advantages

The Active Optical Cable delivers 10 Gbps full-duplex throughput across a 10 m span while maintaining a compact, low-profile connection similar to direct-attach copper but with extended reach and lower EMI. Built-in optical transceivers remove the need for separate modules and fibre terminations, reducing installation time and potential points of failure. The SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ ports, and the cable’s plug-and-play design supports straightforward deployment without additional configuration.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack server interconnects in data centres
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and aggregation links
• Connections between servers and storage arrays
• High-density patching in top-of-rack and middle-of-row installations

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (full-duplex)
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (SFP+ to SFP+)
• Cable length: 10 m duplex optical cable
• Transmission medium: Active optical cable with integrated optical transceivers
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for demanding networking tasks
• EMI performance: minimal electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives
• Form factor: compact SFP+ plug for hot-plug installation

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be connected; ensure the connectors click into place and that the devices are powered. No additional transceivers, fibre patch cords or configuration changes are typically required. After connection, verify link status and data rate on both endpoints via device LEDs or management interfaces. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid exposure to high mechanical stress.

Recommendations

Use this Active Optical Cable in enclosed rack environments and short-reach links up to 10 m where 10 Gbps performance and reduced EMI are required. Avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and prevent excessive pulling force on the connectors during installation and relocation.
