SFP+ Active Optical -kaapeli CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M — 10Gbps, 5 m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-5M is an SFP+ active optical cable engineered for 10Gbps short-range connectivity with a fixed 5‑meter duplex cable. The assembly integrates optical transceivers and multimode fiber in a single, pre-terminated link to provide direct 10 Gigabit links between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices without requiring separate transceivers. The cable is intended for data center interconnects, rack-to-rack connections and high-speed server uplinks where low power consumption and minimized port occupancy are required.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces component count and simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate optical modules and patch cords. Lower power consumption compared with copper direct-attach cables and discrete transceivers helps reduce overall energy usage in dense installations. The pre-terminated duplex assembly provides predictable performance and consistent optical alignment, while the fixed 5 m length removes splice or termination variability and helps maintain clean cabling paths in racks.

Suitable for

• Short-range 10Gbps links within and between server racks
• Direct connections between SFP+ ports on switches and storage arrays
• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row interconnects
• High-speed uplinks where low latency and reduced power are required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ compliant duplex connector integrated cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 5 meters fixed duplex cable
• Media type: active optical cable (AOC) with multimode optical link
• Power profile: low-power design compared with separate transceiver solutions
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports on networking and server equipment that support AOC modules

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ connector end into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. No fiber termination or module configuration is required; the device should be hot-pluggable in compliant systems. Verify link negotiation and port status on the connected equipment and route the fixed 5 m cable through rack guides or tie points to avoid sharp bends and to maintain recommended bend radius for optical fibers.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure connected ports support SFP+ active optical cables and check device compatibility lists where available. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius, keep connector end faces clean, and handle the cable to prevent tensile stress on the assembly. Use this 5 m AOC for short-range interconnects inside racks or between adjacent racks rather than for long-haul or outdoor runs.
