Cisco SFP-10G-AOC5M= 10GBASE Active Optical Cable, 5 m | SFP+ Fiber

Maintain high-speed connectivity between adjacent switches, servers, and storage with a Cisco 10GBASE Active Optical SFPP cable built for short-reach 10 GbE links. At 5 m, it gives infrastructure teams a cleaner alternative to bulky copper assemblies when rack density, airflow, and cable management all matter. Active optical cabling is a strong fit for environments that need consistent signal integrity across a short span without adding the weight and bend-radius concerns of traditional copper. The SFP+ form factor supports straightforward deployment in compatible Cisco ports, making it a practical choice for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects. For teams standardizing on Cisco optics and interconnects, this cable helps keep deployments tidy while preserving the performance profile expected in enterprise switching and storage fabrics. It is a purpose-built option when you want a short, reliable 10 GbE link without overbuying length or complexity.
