Active Optical Cable — 10G SFP+ to SFP+ — 20m — Cisco-Compatible 10Gtek SFP-10G-AOC20M
This 10Gtek 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a 10GbE SFP+-to-SFP+ direct-attach fiber assembly built on OM3 multimode fiber (MMF) with a fixed 20-meter reach. Each end integrates an MSA-compliant SFP+ optical module permanently attached to the fiber, giving you a lightweight, low-power alternative to separate SFP+ optics and patch cords for short- to medium-reach 10G links.
- 10GbE SFP+ to SFP+ link — Supports 10GBASE Ethernet connections between switches, servers, and storage over a single pre-terminated AOC.
- Cisco-compatible coding — Programmed to behave as a Cisco SFP-10G-AOC20M-compatible cable for seamless use in Cisco switches and routers that support 10G AOCs.
- Broad multi-vendor support — Commonly used with platforms such as Ubiquiti, Netgear, D-Link, Mikrotik, Supermicro and other SFP+-based gear that accepts third-party optics.
- OM3 MMF construction — Thin, flexible OM3 fiber is easier to route than copper DACs, improving airflow and simplifying cable management in dense racks.
- Low power & low EMI — Integrated active optics reduce power draw and electromagnetic interference compared with traditional copper direct-attach cables.
- Hot-swappable design — SFP+ ends plug directly into standard SFP+ cages; no separate SFP+ modules or fiber jumpers are required.
- 100% tested assemblies — Each cable is individually optically inspected and link-tested to verify 10G performance and interoperability before it leaves production.
- Custom cuts & coding available — Standard meter lengths are stocked, and Gruber can build or source special lengths and brand-specific coding for mixed-vendor environments.

Why choose Gruber for 10G AOC cables
- Cisco-compatible & lab-verified — We qualify 10G AOCs against real Cisco and multi-vendor platforms, so they behave correctly in production networks.
- Custom cuts & rack-ready builds — Gruber can supply special lengths, label each end, and bundle assemblies to match your rack layout and documentation.
- End-to-end data-center expertise — From UPS and racks to structured cabling and optics, we help you design the whole interconnect, not just buy cables.
- Project-focused support — Whether it’s a single cabinet or an entire row, we can stage, document, and ship matched AOC sets aligned with your Cisco or multi-vendor BOM.
