$ 63.92 Price excluding tax

The SFP+ to SFP+ 10Gb Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a 10-meter, pre-terminated fiber-optic cable designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between compatible SFP+ ports. It provides a plug-and-play solution for connecting switches, servers, storage systems, and other 10GbE network equipment.

Description

The SFP+ to SFP+ 10Gb Active Optical Cable (OM3-10G) is designed to provide reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity between networking and computing equipment equipped with compatible SFP+ ports.

With integrated SFP+ transceiver modules on both ends, the cable provides a complete point-to-point connection without requiring separate optical transceivers and fiber patch cords. Its 10-meter length makes it suitable for equipment positioned within the same server rack, adjacent racks, or other short-distance data-center environments.

The active optical design uses fiber-optic transmission to provide high-speed data connectivity while avoiding many of the distance and electromagnetic interference limitations associated with copper cabling. The cable is particularly suitable for 10GbE switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and storage networking connections.

  • Network Aggregation

Active Optical Cable Advantages

Compared with traditional copper direct-attach cables, an active optical cable provides:

  • Lower sensitivity to electromagnetic interference
  • Lightweight cabling
  • Flexible routing
  • High-speed 10GbE connectivity
  • Pre-terminated plug-and-play installation
  • Simplified deployment over the specified cable length

Compatibility

The cable is intended for equipment with compatible SFP+ ports supporting the applicable 10GbE optical/AOC specifications.

Compatibility should be checked against the target switch, server, storage system, network adapter, and vendor transceiver/AOC support list, particularly for vendor-coded SFP+ ports.
