Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M 10G SFP+ active optical cable, 30 m

The Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M is a 30-metre SFP+ active optical cable engineered for 10G data transmission between network devices. It integrates SFP+ connector interfaces at both ends and an optical link within a single assembly, removing the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables. The cable is intended for short- to medium-reach interconnects in data centres and network racks where a compact, low-latency 10 Gigabit connection is required.

Advantages

This AOC provides a low-latency 10G link with consistent signal integrity over a 30 m distance while reducing cabling complexity and rack space compared with separate transceiver plus patch-cord deployments. The integrated design simplifies installation and inventory management, and its optical medium offers immunity to electromagnetic interference. The product supports standard SFP+ interface form factor, enabling plug-and-play replacement of compatible SFP+ ports without additional optical transceivers.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch 10G connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch aggregation links within a rack or between adjacent racks
• High-density network equipment interconnects where reduced cabling footprint is required
• Short- to medium-reach fibre runs requiring low latency and EMI immunity

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ on both ends compatible with 10G SFP+ sockets
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 30 metres (active optical cable)
• Medium: multimode optical link with integrated transceivers
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP+ assemblies
• Typical applications: server, switch and storage interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding 10G SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the module latches securely. No separate optical transceivers or patch panels are required. Verify link status through the device management interface and confirm negotiated speed and duplex settings, if applicable. For safe handling, avoid excessive bending, kinking or mechanical stress on the cable; route through existing cable management channels and secure with appropriate ties without compressing the cable jacket.

Recommendations

Use this 30 m SFP+ active optical cable for direct, short- to medium-distance 10G connections in controlled indoor environments. Maintain minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or moisture, and verify compatibility with device firmware and SFP+ hot-plug policies before deployment.
