CBO Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-30M-DL-BO — 10G, 30 m, SFP+

Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M-DL-BO is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach assembly that provides a 30 metre optical link for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The integrated design combines SFP+ transceivers and multimode optical fibre in a single cable assembly, delivering low latency and high bandwidth for short-reach data centre interconnects. This solution reduces component count and simplifies installation compared with discrete transceivers and patch cords, while offering lower power consumption and consistent link performance.

Advantages

The cable offers plug-and-play connectivity for SFP+ ports and eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch fibres, speeding up deployment and reducing potential points of failure. Short-reach optical transmission reduces electromagnetic interference and provides stable throughput for 10 Gbps links. The single-assembly construction ensures consistent optical alignment and lowers overall power draw compared with separate optical modules.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between network switches in data centres and server rooms
• Direct links between servers and storage arrays requiring 10 Gigabit bandwidth
• High-density rack environments where cable management and reduced heat are important
• Short-reach optical uplinks in enterprise networks and aggregation layers

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ direct-attach optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 30 metres
• Optical type: active multimode fibre assembly with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for time-sensitive traffic
• Power: lower power consumption compared with separate transceiver plus fibre solutions
• Application: short-reach data centre and server interconnects

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on network switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are securely seated and verify link status through the device management interface. No separate optical transceivers or patch cords are required. Follow standard ESD precautions when handling connectors and avoid tight bends along the cable run to preserve optical performance. If a link does not come up, check port configuration and SFP+ compatibility in the device firmware or driver settings.

Recommendations

Route the cable to minimize sharp bends and avoid proximity to strong EMI sources. Use appropriate cable management in dense racks to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on connectors. Verify compatibility with the host devices' SFP+ ports and consult equipment documentation for any required firmware settings or port speed configurations.
