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. Network Racks Cable Management Typical Lengths Typical Cisco Reference Typical Use 3 m SFP-10G-AOC3M* Short top-of-rack and adjacent chassis links. 7 m SFP-10G-AOC7M* Across cabinets within the same row. 20 m (this cable) SFP-10G-AOC20M* Longer row-to-row runs in a single room. Custom Matched to Cisco length families Gruber can provide custom cuts, labeling, and mixed-vendor coding for project-specific interconnects. *Cisco part numbers shown as typical references only; this is a compatible third-party product. 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.
