SFP+ AOC-kaapeli CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M Lenovolle – 10 m, 10 Gbit/s

Direct Attach Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M for Lenovo is a 10 m AOC solution engineered for SFP+ ports and high-speed interconnects. The cable supports up to 10 Gbps data rates and is intended for short- to medium-range links in data centers and server rooms. By using active optical components, the AOC provides low latency, resistance to electromagnetic interference and reduced cable bulk compared with equivalent copper assemblies, helping to simplify high-density rack and adjacent-rack connectivity.

Advantages

The SFP+ AOC offers optical transmission over a thin, lightweight assembly that reduces weight and improves airflow in constrained rack environments. Active optics extend signal reach compared with passive copper direct-attach options while maintaining low power consumption and interoperability with standard SFP+ ports. Immunity to EMI and omission of bulky shielding make the cable suitable where signal integrity and compact routing are priorities.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections within the same rack
• Switch-to-switch links between adjacent racks
• Storage array interconnects requiring 10 Gbps bandwidth
• High-density cabling environments in data centers

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ compatible optical twinax form-factor
• Length: 10 meters
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbps
• Transmission medium: active optical cable (single assembly with integrated transceivers)
• Typical latency: low, suitable for data center applications
• Immunity: resistant to electromagnetic interference
• Construction: lightweight, reduced bulk for high-density routing

How to use

Install the SFP+ AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network switches, servers or storage devices until the module latches. No separate optical transceivers or patch cords are required. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and that ports are enabled in the device configuration. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; check link status via device interface to confirm a 10 Gbps connection.

Recommendations

Handle the AOC by the connector housings and avoid kinking the optical assembly. Maintain bend radii above manufacturer-recommended minimums and keep the connectors free of dust or debris; use dust caps when ports are not connected. Verify compatibility with your SFP+ ports and firmware, and monitor temperature and physical strain in high-density installations to ensure reliable 10 Gbps operation.
