CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-30M-NV-BO 10Gbps 30m

CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable SFP-AOC-10G-30M-NV-BO 10Gbps 30m is a pre-terminated SFP+ direct-attach fiber solution designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 30 meters. The cable integrates transceivers and multimode optical fiber in a single assembly for plug-and-play connectivity between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices. It delivers low latency and low insertion loss while reducing electromagnetic interference compared with copper cabling, making it suitable for dense rack environments and data center uplinks.

Advantages

The active optical design provides 10 Gbps throughput with lower power consumption per link than many legacy copper solutions and enables longer reach without additional patching or transceivers. Pre-terminated SFP+ modules eliminate field termination and simplify installation and cable management. The cable’s optical construction reduces crosstalk and susceptibility to EMI, and its integrated connectors ensure consistent optical performance and predictable latencies for critical network paths.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch interconnects
• Server-to-switch uplinks in data centers
• Storage area network (SAN) connections and aggregation links
• High-density cabling runs where rack space and EMI immunity are important

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Maximum reach: 30 meters over multimode fiber
• Form factor: SFP+ integrated active optical cable
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends for direct insertion into SFP+ ports
• Latency: low, suitable for high-performance switching and storage environments
• Electromagnetic performance: immune to EMI compared with copper alternatives
• Cable type: pre-terminated optical assembly with integrated transceivers

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for 10 Gbps operation and that port settings match (speed, duplex, and any required negotiation or fixed settings). Use the provided length to plan routing within racks and cable trays to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for optical fiber. Monitor link status LEDs or management interfaces to confirm successful link establishment and proper operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, route the cable away from tight bends and high-heat sources, and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the connectors. Verify compatibility with your devices' SFP+ ports and vendor support lists if vendor locking is a concern. Keep spare modules or replacement cables on hand for critical links to minimize downtime.
