Description

Black Box SFP-10G-AOC3M-BB 10Gbps Active Optical Cable

Overview

The Black Box SFP-10G-AOC3M-BB is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It terminates in SFP+ transceivers on both ends, offering a direct, low-latency link ideal for short-reach applications within racks or between adjacent racks in data centers or enterprise network closets. This cable provides a cost-effective, power-efficient alternative to traditional fiber optic transceivers and patch cables, simplifying deployment by integrating the optical conversion directly into the cable assembly. The aqua jacket distinguishes it for specific network infrastructure deployments.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered to be fully compatible with Cisco SFP-10G-AOC3M specifications, ensuring seamless integration with network devices that support SFP+ modules. It is suitable for use with a wide range of switches, servers, and network interface cards (NICs) from major manufacturers that adhere to the SFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards. Specifically, it is designed to function in environments requiring a direct connection to Cisco equipment or any system expecting a Cisco SFP-10G-AOC3M compatible AOC.

Installation Notes

The SFP+ connectors simply plug into standard SFP+ ports on network equipment. Ensure the ports are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for static deployment within controlled environments; avoid excessive bending or pulling to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage to the optical fibers. The 3-meter length is optimized for intra-rack or short inter-rack connectivity, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation.
