AddOn ADD-SCISIB-AOC8M 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ 8 m Cable

Move 10 GbE traffic across racks with a direct-attach active optical cable designed for compatible Cisco and IBM platforms. The 8 meter reach gives you practical distance for adjacent cabinets, top-of-rack to end-of-row links, and other short interconnects where discrete optics and patch cords would add complexity. As an active optical cable, this assembly integrates the optical path into a single connection, helping reduce component count and simplify deployment. That matters in environments where port density, airflow, and serviceability all affect operating cost. Instead of managing separate transceivers and fiber jumpers, you get a cleaner link that is easier to install and easier to trace. AddOn Networks positions this cable as a compatibility-focused alternative for teams standardizing on Cisco SFP-10G-AOC8M and IBM 90Y9430-AOC8M environments. It is a practical choice when you want dependable 10GBASE-AOC connectivity without overbuilding the link. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: fewer parts, faster installation, and a direct path between equipment that already speaks SFP+.
