CBO AOC SFP+ ενεργό οπτικό καλώδιο 2 m — AOC-S-S-10G-2M-BO, 10 Gbit/s

The CBO AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable 2 m (10 Gbit/s) is a 2‑metre SFP+ passive-plug optical link designed for short-range, high-speed interconnects between SFP+ ports in network switches, servers and storage systems. The integrated transceiver optics eliminate the need for separate SFP+ modules, simplifying cable management in data centre and rack-to-rack deployments. The cable supports 10 Gbit/s line rates, offers low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, and is optimized for reliable short-distance links where copper breakout or separate optics would be less efficient.

Advantages

This active optical cable provides a compact, low-power connection with the signal integrity advantages of fibre optics and the convenience of direct SFP+ plug‑in connectivity. It reduces heat and power consumption compared with some active copper alternatives while offering EMI immunity and consistent performance at 10 Gbit/s. The integrated design simplifies installation and reduces the number of components required in dense rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range interconnects between SFP+ ports in data centre switches
• Rack-to-rack links within server rooms
• Direct connections between servers and storage appliances with SFP+ interfaces
• High-density top-of-rack deployments requiring simplified cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ twin-plug
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 2 metres
• Cable type: active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceiver optics
• Latency: low, suitable for high-throughput, low-latency applications
• Electromagnetic immunity: immune to EMI typical of optical links
• Typical use: short-range interconnects in racks and data centres

How to use

Ensure that both devices have compatible SFP+ ports and that firmware or vendor compatibility requirements are met. Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm negotiated speed of 10 Gbit/s. For best results, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain on the connectors; follow equipment vendor guidelines for handling and insertion/removal procedures.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m AOC where short, high-speed links with low latency and EMI immunity are needed. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer and handle the SFP+ connectors carefully during installation and maintenance to preserve optical performance.
