CBO SFP+ aktiivinen optinen kaapeli SFP-AOC-10G-20M-NV-BO 10G, 20 m

The CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-20M-NV-BO 10G, 20 m is a pre-terminated SFP+ 10 Gigabit link with a fixed 20 metre length. Designed for short-reach interconnects in data centers, server racks and storage arrays, this active optical cable integrates transceivers and multimode optical fibre in a single assembly to provide 10 Gb/s connectivity without separate modules. The assembly supports low-latency signal transmission and reduces the need for additional power and cooling compared with copper direct attach cables.

Advantages

The integrated design delivers a compact, plug-and-play 10G connection that eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers and fibre patch cords. Active optical construction ensures lower power consumption and reduced heat generation compared with equivalent copper solutions over the same distance. Fixed-length pre-termination simplifies installation, reduces points of failure and improves signal integrity for short-reach links inside racks and between adjacent switches.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch-to-switch links
• Server to top-of-rack switch connections
• Storage array interconnects in data centres
• High-density, short-reach 10 GbE links within wiring closets

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second
• Connector type: SFP+ form factor plugs (pre-terminated cable ends)
• Link type: Active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Length: 20 metres
• Medium: multimode optical fibre
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for data centre use
• Power: lower power consumption compared with equivalent copper DAC solutions

How to use

Install the active optical cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be connected. No separate transceivers or fibre patch cords are required. Ensure both devices support SFP+ 10G interfaces and that ports are enabled in the network configuration. Confirm link status via device LEDs or management interface and monitor for proper negotiation and throughput. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends to preserve fibre performance.

Recommendations

Use this 20 m active optical cable for reliable short-reach 10G links inside racks or between adjacent racks where a fixed-length, low-power, plug-and-play solution is preferred. Verify compatibility with your switches or servers’ SFP+ ports and follow standard fibre handling practices: maintain minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean, and power down ports when inserting or removing the cable if recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
