InfiniBand aktiivinen optinen kaapeli CBO AOC-S-S-10G-10M-BO 10 m, SFP+

The InfiniBand Active Optical Cable CBO AOC-S-S-10G-10M-BO is a 10-meter SFP+ direct-attach optical cable intended for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. Built for 10 Gigabit connectivity, this active optical cable uses an orange fiber assembly to deliver low-loss transmission across longer reach than traditional copper DACs while eliminating susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The cable integrates optical transceivers at both ends for plug-and-play insertion into SFP+ ports and is suited to structured cabling in data centers and network racks.

Advantages

This AOC provides stable 10 Gb/s data transfer over a 10 m distance with reduced signal degradation compared with long copper assemblies. The optical medium reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it suitable for densely populated rack environments. The integrated SFP+ form-factor transceivers simplify deployment and reduce the need for separate module purchases. The orange fiber jacket aids visual identification in mixed-cable installations and supports cleaner airflow and lighter cable weight compared with equivalent copper solutions.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between servers and top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Interconnects between storage arrays and network fabrics
• 10 Gigabit uplinks within data center racks and row cabling
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference or long-reach connections beyond typical copper DAC limits

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ at both ends
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet / InfiniBand compatible)
• Length: 10 meters
• Transmission medium: active optical cable with fiber assembly
• Cable colour: orange
• Typical application: server, switch and storage interconnects in data centers

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the appropriate SFP+ port on devices such as switches, servers or storage modules until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered off or ports are administratively disabled if hot-plugging is not supported. Verify link activity and configuration through the host devices’ network management interface and confirm the interface is set to 10 Gbit/s if required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid bending the cable sharply, secure the cable to rack management points to prevent strain on connectors, and keep the SFP+ interfaces free of dust. Use in compatible SFP+ ports and verify device firmware or compatibility lists if required by the switch or server vendor.
