Lightwin 10G SFP+ actieve optische kabel 20m (LWO-AOC-SFPP-20M)

Unlike bulky copper DACs that struggle with signal integrity over distance, this Lightwin active optical cable converts electrical signals to light, delivering a clean 10 Gbps link across a full 20 meters without EMI or crosstalk. The SFP+ connectors plug directly into MSA-compliant ports, and the cable draws less than 1 W per end, so it adds almost no heat to dense server racks.

Highlights

• 10 Gbps data rate for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel
• 20 m reach — far beyond passive copper limits
• Active optical construction with 850 nm multimode fiber
• Hot-swappable SFP+ ends, no separate transceivers needed
• Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) for real-time link health
• Low power consumption: under 1 W per end
• Immune to electromagnetic interference
• PVC jacket for durability in data center environments

In daily use

In a top-of-rack to end-of-row setup, this AOC eliminates the need for optical patch panels and separate transceivers. The cable is significantly lighter than DAC alternatives, reducing strain on switch ports and simplifying cable management. Since it is hot-swappable, you can reroute connections without downtime. DDM lets you monitor temperature, voltage, and optical power from the switch CLI, so troubleshooting a flaky link takes minutes instead of hours.
