AOC CBO SFP+ AOC 10G 50M kaapeli – SFP-AOC-10G-50M

The AOC CBO SFP+ AOC 10G 50M cable (SFP-AOC-10G-50M) is an active optical cable designed for 10 Gbps links between SFP+ ports. It provides a 50-metre optical connection ideal for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centres and enterprise networks. The plug-and-play SFP+ form factor reduces setup time while the optical medium lowers electromagnetic interference and signal attenuation compared with copper alternatives.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers consistent 10 Gbps throughput over a 50 m optical span, offering lower latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling. The integrated transceivers and factory-terminated connectors simplify installation and reduce the need for separate optical modules and patch cords. The SFP+ compatibility ensures straightforward interchangeability with standard SFP+ ports on network equipment.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within enterprise racks
• High-bandwidth storage area network (SAN) links
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row fiber deployments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 50 metres optical cable
• Connector type: SFP+ direct-attach optical transceiver form factor
• Transmission medium: Active optical cable (single or multimode optical fibre as implemented by manufacturer)
• Latency: low inherent propagation delay typical for AOC links
• EMI: immune to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling
• Power: powered via SFP+ port; no external power supply required

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until it latches. Ensure devices are powered and configured to enable the SFP+ port at 10 Gbps. No separate driver installation is typically required; the cable and its integrated modules are recognised as SFP+ transceivers. Verify link status through switch or server management interfaces and monitor error counters to confirm stable operation.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by its connectors and avoid sharp bends near the transceiver ends. Maintain the specified minimum bend radius and keep connectors free of dust; use dust caps when the cable is not connected. Match transceiver types and port settings on both ends and consult equipment compatibility lists for SFP+ support to ensure reliable 10G links.
