SFP+ active optical cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M for SonicWall, 10 Gbps, 10 m

Direct-attach active optical cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M for SonicWall delivers a factory-integrated SFP+ cable assembly that provides a 10 Gbps full-duplex link over a 10-metre multimode fiber. The cable combines SFP+ connectors and active optical transceivers in a single harness to offer short-reach, low-latency connectivity between switches, firewalls, servers and network appliances without separate pluggable transceivers. This design reduces installation steps and cable bulk while maintaining electrical compatibility with SFP+ ports on SonicWall devices.

Advantages

The CBO SFP-AOC-10G-10M ensures consistent 10 Gbps performance with low power consumption and minimal signal attenuation over the 10 m optical assembly. Integration of optical transceivers into the cable eliminates the need for separate modules, simplifying inventory and reducing total cost of ownership for short-reach links. Its SFP+ form-factor maintains hot-pluggable convenience and compatibility with standard SFP+ cages, enabling quick deployment and reliable operation in rack and chassis environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed links between SonicWall firewalls and core switches
• Short-reach server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Interconnects between top-of-rack switches and aggregation devices
• Redundant or backup 10 Gbps links requiring low latency

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends
• Transmission medium: active optical fiber assembly
• Reach: designed for short-reach interconnects (multi-metre up to 10 m)
• Power: low-power active optics suitable for SFP+ ports
• Form factor: integrated SFP+ AOC cable (hot-pluggable)

How to use

Install by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on SonicWall devices, switches or servers until the module locks into the cage. Ensure devices are powered and that port configuration matches 10 Gbps operation; most systems will auto-negotiate when using an SFP+ AOC. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the recommended bend radius for optical assemblies. If devices provide link/activity LEDs or management interfaces, verify link up and operational status after insertion.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the cable, install in rack pathways or cable management arms when possible, and use dedicated SFP+ ports intended for short-reach optics. Confirm firmware and hardware compatibility with your SonicWall device model and monitor port status after installation. Keep the cable ends protected from dust when not connected.
