Description

StarTech SFP10GAOC3M Active Optical Cable

Overview

The StarTech SFP10GAOC3M is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed 10Gbps network connections. It provides a direct, plug-and-play solution for linking network devices like switches, servers, and network interface cards (NICs) over short distances, offering superior signal integrity compared to traditional copper cabling. This cable is ideal for data center interconnects, high-performance computing clusters, and enterprise network backbones where bandwidth and reliability are critical. The SFP10GAOC3M model ensures compatibility with Cisco SFP-10G-AOC3M specifications, providing a cost-effective alternative for similar deployments.

Compatibility

This active optical cable is engineered to be compatible with any networking equipment featuring SFP+ ports that support 10Gbps Ethernet standards. It is specifically designed to meet the requirements of Cisco SFP-10G-AOC3M, ensuring seamless integration with Cisco switches, routers, and servers. It functions with any SFP+ transceiver slot, supporting 10GBASE-SR, 10GBASE-LR, and 10GBASE-SW standards, making it versatile for various network configurations.

Installation Notes

The SFP10GAOC3M features integrated SFP+ transceivers on both ends, eliminating the need for separate transceivers. Simply plug the cable directly into the SFP+ ports of your network devices. The active optical nature of the cable means it requires no external power source. Ensure the ports are clean before insertion. The cable is designed for indoor use within controlled environments.
