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

BlueOptics SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-2M Nokia 10Gbps 2m is a direct-attach active optical cable designed for SFP+ ports, delivering a 10 Gbps data rate over a 2-metre optical link. The cable is intended for short-reach connectivity in data centres, server rooms and network closets and is compatible with devices that accept Nokia-marked SFP+ AOC modules. It offers an optical alternative to copper DACs, combining low latency and energy-efficient operation for interconnecting switches, servers and storage systems.

Advantages

The AOC provides high bandwidth with reduced electromagnetic interference compared to copper solutions and supports a 10 Gbps link over a flexible 2 m optical cable. Active optical transceivers integrated in the assembly enable lower power consumption per port and longer reach than passive copper while maintaining low latency suitable for latency-sensitive applications. The module’s form factor and SFP+ interface simplify installation and hot-plug replacement in compatible equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between switches in rack and top-of-rack deployments
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch connections in data centres
• High-density networking environments that require low power and reduced heat
• Environments where electromagnetic immunity and signal integrity are important

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor for 10 Gbps ports
• Data rate: 10 Gbps duplex
• Length: 2 metres optical cable
• Media type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive traffic
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent active copper solutions (per-port efficiency)
• Operating environment: designed for data centre and server room use

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the transceivers click into place. Confirm link status on both ends and configure the connected devices according to network policies and interface settings. No separate transceiver modules or patch fibres are required; the AOC is a preassembled optical link that supports hot-plug installation when the host equipment accepts compatible SFP+ AOC modules.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with Nokia-marked SFP+ AOC modules before installation, avoid sharp bends in the optical cable (observe manufacturer minimum bend radius), and operate within the equipment’s specified temperature range. For optimal performance, keep firmware and interface settings current on switches and servers and monitor link health through device diagnostics.
