CBO AOC 10G SFP+ cable 30m for Lenovo (SFP-AOC-10G-30M)

CBO AOC 10G SFP+ cable 30m for Lenovo (SFP-AOC-10G-30M) is an Active Optical Cable (AOC) that provides a 10 Gbps direct connection for Lenovo-compatible SFP+ ports. With a 30-meter length it is intended for short- to medium-range data center interconnects, enabling low-latency and low-power links between switches, servers and network interface cards without the need for separate optical transceivers. The cable is designed to simplify rack-to-rack connections, server uplinks and high-speed storage networking in environments that require reliable 10 Gigabit links.

Advantages

The AOC design integrates optical transceivers into a single cable assembly, reducing component count and simplifying installation while lowering power consumption compared with discrete transceiver plus fiber solutions. Its 10 Gbps throughput and low-latency characteristics help maintain high-performance traffic flows. The 30 m length covers common rack-to-rack and row-to-row distances in data centers, and the plug-and-play SFP+ connector compatibility eliminates the need for additional configuration or optical modules.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Server uplinks and top-of-rack switch links
• High-speed storage network links (10 GbE)
• Short- to medium-range interconnects between networking equipment

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ plug-and-play active optical cable
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable type: active optical fiber assembly
• Length: 30 meters
• Typical use: short- to medium-distance data center interconnects
• Compatibility: Lenovo-compatible SFP+ ports (plug-and-play)
• Latency: low-latency optical link
• Power: lower power consumption compared with separate transceiver + fiber solutions

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your switches, servers or NICs until the latch engages. Verify link status on both devices and configure network settings as required by your environment. Because the cable integrates the optical transceiver functionality, no separate transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. For best results, handle the cable by the connectors and avoid sharp bends or stress on the fiber assembly during routing and installation.

Recommendations

Use this 30 m AOC for stable 10 Gbps links where compatibility with Lenovo SFP+ ports is required and where short- to medium-range distances are typical. Avoid tight bend radii, secure the cable to prevent mechanical strain, and ensure SFP+ ports are enabled and configured for 10 Gb operation in the connected devices. For longer distances or mixed-vendor optical networks, evaluate appropriate transceiver and fiber options.
