SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M for 10Gbps, 30m length, compatible with QNAP

The CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M is an SFP+ active optical cable engineered for 10Gbps direct connections with a fixed 30-meter length. It integrates transceiver functions into a pre-terminated cable assembly to provide a plug-and-play 10G link between compatible switches, servers and QNAP devices without the need for separate fiber transceivers. The cable is intended for short-range data center interconnects, storage networking and scenarios where low latency and high bandwidth are required in a reliable, compact form factor.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers high-bandwidth 10Gbps throughput with low latency and reduced power consumption compared with separate transceiver solutions. The pre-terminated design eliminates field termination and simplifies installation while maintaining signal integrity over the full 30 m length. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports and plug-and-play operation reduce deployment time and potential configuration errors.

Suitable for

• Data center uplinks between switches or top-of-rack equipment
• Server-to-switch and storage-to-switch connections in SAN environments
• QNAP device interconnections and high-performance NAS uplinks
• Short-range fiber replacements where a fixed-length, low-latency link is needed

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ connectors (active optical cable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps full duplex
• Length: 30 meters fixed
• Optical type: Active multimode/laser-based optical link suitable for short-range 10G
• Power consumption: low-power SFP+ class design (typical for AOC modules)
• Latency: minimal added latency suitable for storage and networking

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices you wish to connect, ensuring the connectors are fully engaged and any latch mechanisms are secured. The cable is designed for hot-plug operation and should be recognized by devices with standard SFP+ ports without additional transceivers. Verify link status in the device management interface and ensure both ends negotiate at 10Gbps. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and protect it from sharp edges or mechanical damage during installation.

Recommendations

Use the cable in environments that match its short-range optical design and ensure both endpoints support SFP+ active optical cables. Avoid exceeding the specified 30 m length and maintain bend radius and cable management best practices to preserve signal integrity and service life.
