SFP+ aktiivinen optinen kaapeli CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10 Gbit/s 2 m

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M 10Gbps 2m is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable integrates optical transceivers and multimode fiber in a single assembly, providing a plug-and-play connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage systems. With a 2 m length and 10 Gbps line rate, it removes the need for separate transceivers, reduces power consumption compared with copper DACs at similar distances, and is intended for use in data center racks, top-of-rack and adjacent equipment connections.

Advantages

This SFP+ Active Optical Cable supports 10 Gbps data transfer over a compact 2-meter assembly, offering low-latency and low-power operation suitable for dense rack environments. By combining the optical transceivers and fiber in a single pre-terminated unit it simplifies installation and reduces compatibility issues. The cable provides electrical isolation and improved electromagnetic immunity compared with copper alternatives, while maintaining compliance with SFP+ mechanical and electrical form-factor requirements for straightforward interoperability with standard SFP+ ports.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches in a single rack or adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Storage array connectivity requiring short-reach 10GbE links
• High-density patching where low power and low latency are priorities

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ plug-integrated optical assembly
• Media: active multimode optical cable
• Typical application: short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects
• Power profile: low-power operation compared with equivalent copper DACs
• Latency: low propagation latency suitable for switch-to-server links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on your network devices until the module latches. Ensure that linked devices support SFP+ AOC modules and that firmware or port settings allow auto-negotiation at 10 Gbps. Route the 2 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the connectors; observe manufacturer minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. No separate transceiver or patch cable is required—power and optical interface are contained within the pre-terminated assembly.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor's SFP+ module policies and ensure firmware is up to date. Avoid kinking the cable and keep connector dust caps in place until installation to prevent contamination. Use this 2 m AOC for short, high-density links inside racks or between adjacent racks rather than for long-distance runs.
