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

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M — 10 Gbps, 30 m is an SFP+ active optical cable that provides a 10 Gbps full-duplex link over a 30‑metre duplex optical connection. The cable uses an SFP+ form factor on both ends for direct insertion into compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage devices. It is engineered for low latency, stable throughput and immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense rack-to-rack and in-rack interconnects in data center and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers a longer reach than comparable copper direct-attach cables while maintaining the compact SFP+ footprint for plug-and-play deployment. Reduced weight and flexibility improve cable routing in dense environments, and optical transmission prevents degradation from electromagnetic noise. The SFP+ form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of devices that accept SFP+ modules, enabling fast replacement and straightforward inventory management.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack connections in data centers
• Top-of-rack switch to server links
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) links
• Low-latency interconnects for virtualization hosts
• Environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps full-duplex
• Reach: 30 metres over duplex optical cable
• Connector: SFP+ transceiver form factor (plug-and-play)
• Cable type: Active optical duplex assembly
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-performance networking
• EMI immunity: optical link eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the SFP+ port of the corresponding devices until the connector latches. Ensure that both devices are powered off or that hot-plugging is supported by the equipment according to vendor guidelines. After insertion, verify link status through the device management interface or indicator LEDs. No additional transceiver modules or patch panels are required; the active optical cable integrates the optical transceivers and fiber in a single assembly.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use proper cable management to prevent strain on connectors and to preserve airflow in racks. Confirm compatibility with your equipment by checking that SFP+ ports support active optical cable assemblies and verify link negotiation settings such as speed and duplex if manual configuration is needed.
