A 3 metre active optical cable with SFP+ connectors on each end, black jacketed, coiled in a loose loop

Axiom

Axiom SFP-10GB-AOC03M-AX 3 m 10GBASE active optical cable

SKU CH-3RP8-2GGYG

A 3 m active optical cable for 10GBASE SFP+ links, pre-coded for OEM compatibility

  • 10 Gbps throughput over 3 m fibre link
  • 100 % OEM-compatible pre-coded SFP+ modules
  • Plug-and-play interoperability with multi-vendor switches
  • Lightweight 0.14 lb cable eases rack routing
  • Active optical design maintains signal integrity at distance

3 m 10GBASE active optical cable

This 3 m Axiom SFP+ active optical cable carries 10 Gb Ethernet between switches, routers or servers. It is aimed at network engineers and data-centre technicians who need a lightweight, low-latency link without the bulk of copper twinax.

Check SFP+ port compatibility

Verify that each end device accepts SFP+ modules and supports 10GBASE-AOC operation. Confirm the host equipment does not enforce a proprietary vendor lock that would reject third-party coded transceivers.

Factory-coded EEPROM ensures OEM recognition

The cable arrives pre-programmed with an application-specific code so it identifies correctly to major router and switch platforms. At 0.14 lbs the assembly is light enough for dense patch-panel routing, and the fixed SFP+ ends remove the need for separate transceiver handling during installation.
