SFP+ AOC-kabel CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G 1 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-1M 10G 1 m is an active optical cable for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. This 1‑metre SFP+ direct-attach solution integrates optical transceivers into the cable assemblies to deliver a compact, low‑power link between network switches, servers and storage devices without the need for separate pluggable modules. It is designed for data centre environments where high-density patching and reliable, low-latency links are required.

Advantages

The integrated optical design reduces component count and simplifies installation compared with separate SFP+ transceivers and fibre patch cords. Low power consumption and reduced heat generation make the cable suitable for dense rack deployments. The fixed 1 m length minimises cable clutter and helps maintain clean top-of-rack and switch-to-server routing. Plug-and-play operation ensures fast commissioning with industry-standard SFP+ interfaces.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch to server connections in data centres
• High-density switch-to-switch links within equipment racks
• Server interconnects and storage area network short links
• Patching in limited-space or cable-managed environments

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ electrical/optical integrated connector
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10Gb/s)
• Length: 1 metre
• Media: Active optical cable with integrated transceiver electronics
• Reach: Short-reach (data centre / intra-rack distances)
• Power: Low power consumption suitable for high-density deployments
• Compatibility: Standard SFP+ host ports on switches, servers and storage

How to use

Ensure both host devices have compatible SFP+ ports and are powered off or support hot‑plugging per vendor guidance. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches; avoid bending the cable sharply. Power on or verify link status on the devices; the link should establish automatically using the SFP+ interface. For diagnostics, check link LEDs and host interface counters according to your switch or server documentation.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use the fixed 1 m length where short, direct connections are required to minimise excess cable. Verify firmware or compatibility notes on your networking equipment for SFP+ AOC support and disable incompatible automatic transceiver checks if necessary.
