AOC CBO AOC-SFP-10G-7M-BO 7 m SFP+ aktiivinen optinen kaapeli 10 Gbit/s

AOC CBO AOC-SFP-10G-7M-BO 7 m SFP+ Active Optical Cable 10 Gbit/s is a 7-metre SFP+ direct-attach active optical cable designed for 10 Gbit/s links. It connects SFP+ ports on servers, switches and storage controllers, providing optical transmission over a fixed-length assembly. The cable reduces electromagnetic interference and offers longer reach than equivalent copper twinax assemblies while maintaining low latency for data centre and enterprise network interconnects.

Advantages

The active optical construction yields improved electrical isolation and reduced susceptibility to crosstalk compared with copper alternatives. With a 7 m length and SFP+ form-factor it simplifies short-reach cabling runs between racks and within aggregation or top-of-rack switch deployments. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s signalling and is suitable for low-latency environments where predictable performance and link stability are required.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch uplinks in data centres
• Storage area network (SAN) connections
• Top-of-rack and aggregation switch interconnects
• Short-reach network links requiring 10 Gbit/s bandwidth

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 7 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Electrical isolation: optical transmission reduces EMI susceptibility

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ module end into compatible SFP+ ports on the devices to be interconnected. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC assemblies and that ports are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines from the equipment vendor if required. Verify link status and network configuration after insertion; no separate transceivers or fibre patching is required because the optical transceivers are integrated into the cable ends.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress near the connector housings; follow minimum bend radius guidance from the manufacturer. Use AOC assemblies indoors in controlled environments such as equipment rooms and data centres and avoid exposure to direct sunlight, moisture or extreme temperatures. Confirm compatibility with switch and server vendor documentation for supported SFP+ passive and active assemblies before deployment.
