Amg Systems SFP-AOC-10G-15 Sfp+ Active Optical Cable 10gb

Product Description

The AMG SYSTEMS SFP-AOC-10G-15 is an SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) rated for 1/10 Gigabit data transmission at a cable length of 15 meters. Active optical cables integrate the optical transceiver directly into each connector end, eliminating the need for separate SFP+ modules and a discrete fiber patch cable. The result is a single assembly that handles both the electrical-to-optical conversion and the fiber run. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use these cables for high-density, short-to-medium reach interconnects inside data centers, telecom closets, and commercial AV or security infrastructure where copper twinax cannot reach the required distance.

This cable is suited for structured cabling environments where runs between switches, servers, or network appliances exceed the practical limits of passive direct-attach copper (DAC) cables, which typically top out around 7 meters. At 15 meters, the SFP-AOC-10G-15 covers intra-rack and inter-rack distances common in mid-size data centers and equipment rooms. It is sold as a single unit and fits into standard SFP+ ports supporting 1GbE or 10GbE operation.

Key Features

• Supports 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet data rates in a single cable assembly
• 15-meter reach covers inter-rack and cross-room runs beyond DAC cable limits
• Integrated optical transceivers at both ends — no separate SFP+ modules required
• SFP+ form factor plugs directly into standard SFP+ switch and NIC ports
• Active optical construction reduces signal loss and electromagnetic interference compared to copper at equivalent lengths
• Sold as individual unit (each), simplifying single-run procurement

Compatibility

Designed for use with network switches, servers, and appliances equipped with standard SFP+ ports supporting 1GbE or 10GbE operation. Verify host-side compatibility with the equipment vendor before installation, as some platforms require vendor-coded transceivers.

Installation Notes

Active optical cables are installed by low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure specialists. Power down or disable the SFP+ port before inserting or removing the cable to avoid hot-plug damage to optical components. Do not bend the cable tighter than the manufacturer-rated minimum bend radius, and do not use the cable as a pull point — route and support it with appropriate cable management. Fiber optical connectors should be inspected and cleaned before seating.
