InfiniBand aktiivinen optinen kaapeli CBO AOC-S-S-10G-15M-BO SFP+ 15 m

The InfiniBand Active Optical Cable CBO AOC-S-S-10G-15M-BO SFP+ 15 m is a factory-terminated, plug-and-play fiber solution for high-speed 10G and InfiniBand links. This active optical cable uses SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 15 metre polymer optical fiber assembly to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connections between switches, servers and storage enclosures in data centers and enterprise racks. It reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling while offering a longer reach suitable for inter-rack and intra-row links.

Advantages

The active optical design integrates optical transceivers and a pre-terminated fiber assembly, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. This cable provides consistent 10 Gigabit performance over 15 metres with low insertion loss and stable signal integrity for latency-sensitive applications. SFP+ compatibility ensures straightforward installation and hot-pluggable operation in compatible ports. The lightweight, flexible cable assembly simplifies cable management in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet and InfiniBand connections between switches and servers
• Server-to-storage links in data centers and enterprise racks
• Inter-rack and intra-row high-speed connectivity
• Environments requiring reduced EMI and improved signal integrity

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical cable (integrated transceivers)
• Data rate: Supports 10 Gigabit-class links and InfiniBand speeds typically associated with SFP+ form factor
• Length: 15 metres
• Latency: Low latency design suitable for latency-sensitive traffic
• Compatibility: SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices that support active optical cables
• Construction: Flexible fiber assembly for improved cable routing and management

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network devices until the module latches. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required; the integrated optical transceivers in the AOC handle signal conversion. Verify link status through device LEDs or management interfaces and ensure both endpoints negotiate expected speeds. For initial deployment, check compatibility lists of your network equipment for SFP+ AOC support and update firmware if required.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Use proper cable management to prevent stress on connectors and to maintain airflow in racks. When removing the cable, depress the module latch or release mechanism on the device before pulling the connector to avoid damaging the port.
