CBO InfiniBand SFP+ Active Optical Cable 3m Μοντέλο 10G-SFPP-AOC-0301-BO, 10 Gb/s

CBO InfiniBand SFP+ Active Optical Cable 3m (10G-SFPP-AOC-0301-BO) is a 3-metre orange SFP+ compatible active optical cable designed for 10 Gb/s links. The cable creates a direct fiber connection between SFP+ ports on servers, switches and storage devices, offering high-bandwidth, low-latency data transmission while avoiding the electromagnetic interference and heat issues associated with long copper connections. Its active optical design integrates transceivers in the cable ends, simplifying installation and supporting reliable links in data centre, rack-to-rack and high-density network environments.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers consistent 10 Gb/s throughput with lower power consumption at longer reach compared to passive copper alternatives. Its SFP+ compatibility ensures plug-and-play interoperability with equipment that accepts SFP+ modules and ports. The fiber medium minimises crosstalk and EMI, improving signal integrity in dense racks and across adjacent equipment. The orange jacket provides clear visual identification for optical links and aids organised cabling in data centre racks.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 10 Gb/s connections
• High-density rack interconnects in data centres
• Storage area network links and SAN aggregation
• Rack-to-rack connections where low latency and EMI immunity are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gb/s duplex
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor transceivers integrated in cable ends
• Length: 3.0 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with optical fibre cores
• Jacket colour: orange for easy identification
• Typical operating environment: data centre and rack installations

How to use

Ensure both network devices support SFP+ ports and 10 Gb/s links before installation. With devices powered according to vendor guidance, insert each SFP+ end of the active optical cable into the corresponding SFP+ port until it latches. Verify the link/LED indicators on connected equipment for an established connection and confirm network configuration on the host or switch to enable the 10 Gb/s interface. To remove, depress the SFP+ latch mechanism and pull the module gently straight out to avoid damage.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Keep optical connector ends and port interfaces free from dust and contamination; use protective caps when the cable is not connected. For optimal reliability in dense deployments, label both ends and document port assignments in rack patching records.
