CBO SFP+ aktiivinen optinen kaapeli SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10G 3 m

The CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10G 3 m is a pre-terminated optical link that provides 10 Gigabit connectivity over a fixed three-meter length. Intended for direct-attach connections between SFP+ ports, this BlueOptics AOC offers a compact, plug-and-play form factor for low-latency, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and storage devices. As an active optical solution, it reduces electrical interference and can lower power consumption compared with equivalent copper direct attach cables.

Advantages

This active optical cable supports 10G data rates over a reliable optical medium, delivering consistent throughput for short-reach connections. The fixed 3 m length simplifies cable management and ensures predictable signal performance without the need for separate transceivers or fiber connectors. Hot-pluggable compatibility with SFP+ ports allows rapid installation and replacement, while the optical construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and improves thermal characteristics relative to copper assemblies.

Suitable for

• Direct-attached links between SFP+ ports on switches and routers
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch connections in data center racks
• Top-of-rack and middle-of-row short-reach interconnects
• Environments requiring low-latency, high-throughput links within a 3 m span

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G)
• Interface: SFP+ form factor, active optical cable
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Transmission medium: multimode optical fiber with active transceivers
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for high-performance networking
• Power: lower power consumption compared with equivalent passive copper direct-attach cables
• Compatibility: designed for use with SFP+ ports on networking equipment

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated securely and that connected devices recognize the link; most systems will auto-negotiate the 10G connection. There is no need to terminate or splice fiber on site because the cable is factory-terminated. For removal, release the connector latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the port or cable.

Recommendations

Place the cable in the rack to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use the 3 m length for short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks; avoid using this fixed-length AOC for longer links. Verify firmware and compatibility with switch or server vendors when deploying in multi-vendor environments to ensure full feature support.
