SFP+ AOC-kaapeli CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10 Gbit/s 3 m

The SFP+ AOC cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-3M 10Gbps 3m is a short-range active optical cable that provides a 10 Gbps SFP+ connection over a 3-meter fiber-optic link. Designed for data center and enterprise networking environments, this BlueOptics AOC integrates transceiver functionality into the cable ends to deliver plug-and-play operation with minimal configuration. The cable offers low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for high-density racks and confined cable runs where reliable, high-speed links are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers and fiber patch cords, reducing component count and simplifying installations. Its integrated design ensures low power consumption and consistent signal integrity over the 3 m distance. The optical medium offers immunity to EMI and provides a compact, flexible alternative to copper cabling for short 10GbE connections. Plug-and-play compatibility with SFP+ ports minimizes setup time and supports hot-plug operation in live networks.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch links in aggregation or top-of-rack deployments
• Network equipment interconnects in high-density rack environments
• Short-reach high-speed links where EMI immunity is required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ plug-integrated active optical cable
• Medium: multimode optical fiber with active transceiver electronics in cable ends
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• EMI immunity: optical transmission eliminates electromagnetic interference issues
• Power consumption: low power design suitable for dense deployments

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ port of the devices to be connected until the latch engages. No additional transceivers or fiber patching is required. Ensure both devices support SFP+ direct attach or AOC modules and verify link status via device network indicators or management interfaces. Handle the optical connectors and cable ends by the housing, avoid sharp bends below the manufacturers minimum bend radius, and keep connectors clean to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this 3 m AOC in short-reach links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid routing the cable near high-heat sources, and maintain minimum bend radius to prevent attenuation. Confirm firmware and driver compatibility with networking devices when deploying in heterogeneous environments.
