SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M for 10G connections, 30 m

The BlueOptics SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M for 10G connections, 30 m is a factory-assembled duplex optical link that delivers 10 Gigabit per second connectivity over a 30-meter reach. The integrated cable combines SFP+ connectors with an active optical fiber assembly, removing the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. It is designed for short- to medium-reach interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks where consistent low latency and high throughput are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable simplifies installation by offering a single, pre-terminated SFP+ solution that reduces rack cabling complexity and potential points of failure. It provides the signal integrity and distance extension of multimode fiber with the convenience of a plug-and-play SFP+ form factor. The all-in-one design lowers deployment time and can improve airflow and cable management compared with separate transceivers and patch cords.

Suitable for

• Switch-to-switch high-speed links within racks or across adjacent racks
• Server-to-switch connections in data center topologies
• Storage system interconnects requiring 10G throughput
• Environments where reduced cabling and simplified maintenance are priorities

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (10G)
• Form factor: SFP+ duplex active optical cable
• Maximum reach: 30 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends
• Cable type: Active optical fiber duplex assembly
• Typical applications: Short- to medium-reach interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ slot on networking equipment until it latches. Ensure both ends are seated properly and that the host devices support 10G SFP+ AOC modules. No additional transceivers or patch cords are required. After insertion, verify link status on the connected devices and configure interfaces according to network requirements. Handle the cable by its connectors and avoid tight bends near the ends to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use this cable within the specified 30 m distance and in environments that meet the equipment ambient conditions. Confirm compatibility with the ports on switches, servers or storage devices before deployment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and maintain proper airflow in rack installations to support overall system reliability.
