Ortronics LN-SFP10G-AOC-10M Sfp Active Optical Cable

Product Description

The ORTRONICS LN-SFP10G-AOC-10M is an active optical cable (AOC) with integrated SFP connectors designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data center interconnects. Active optical cables combine fiber optic transmission with built-in transceiver electronics at each end, eliminating the need for separate SFP modules and patch cables. The cable delivers 10G bandwidth over a low-loss optical medium, making it suitable for rack-to-rack and top-of-rack switch connections. Installation is handled by network technicians and structured cabling professionals in data center and enterprise environments.

This AOC is intended for short-reach 10G connections in data centers, enterprise switching environments, and high-density server installations. The integrated SFP form factor plugs directly into standard SFP slots on switches, servers, and storage equipment. The 10-meter cable length addresses typical in-rack and cross-aisle runs where copper direct-attach cables fall short. The MSA-compatible designation indicates adherence to industry Multi-Source Agreement specifications for SFP signaling and electrical interfaces.

Key Features

• 10G active optical cable with integrated SFP connectors at each end
• 10-meter cable length for in-rack and cross-aisle data center runs
• MSA-compatible SFP interface for broad switch and server interoperability
• Optical transmission reduces EMI sensitivity compared to copper alternatives
• Single unit quantity per package; plug-and-play installation with no separate transceivers required

Compatibility

Designed as an MSA-compatible SFP active optical cable suitable for use in standard SFP-slot equipment supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The LN-SFP10G-AOC-10M is noted as compatible with MSA SFP+ specifications. Verify host equipment compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians or licensed low-voltage cabling professionals. Power down or disable the relevant switch port before seating or removing the SFP connector to prevent transient damage to host equipment. Handle the optical connectors carefully to avoid contamination of the fiber end-faces; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if the connector has been exposed. Follow local structured cabling standards and any applicable data center operational procedures during installation.
