Cable Óptico Activo SFP+ CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M-RW-BO — 10 Gbit/s, 30 m

CBO SFP-AOC-10G-30M-RW-BO is an SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) that provides 10Gbps connectivity over a 30-metre optical link. It integrates optical transceivers and duplex fibre within a single assembly to connect SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage systems without separate transceivers or external fibre patching. The cable is intended for short-reach high-speed links in data centre, rack-to-rack and equipment interconnect scenarios, offering a compact alternative to discrete transceivers and patch cords.

Advantages

The integrated AOC design reduces connection complexity by combining transceivers and fibre in a single, factory-terminated cable, lowering installation time and potential points of failure. With a 10Gbps data rate and low latency characteristics, it supports high-throughput applications and real-time traffic between network devices. The optical medium reduces electrical interference and enables denser cabling in racks while maintaining signal integrity over 30 metres.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Connections between servers and storage arrays within the same data hall
• High-density rack deployments where space and cable management are critical
• Short-reach links requiring 10Gbps bandwidth with low latency

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ connector
• Data rate: 10 Gigabits per second (full duplex)
• Optimal link length: 30 metres over optical fibre
• Cable type: active optical cable with integrated transceivers and duplex fibre
• Form factor: compact SFP+ module ends with factory-terminated assembly
• Typical application: short-reach data centre interconnects and rack-to-rack links

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector end into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking devices until it latches; no separate transceiver installation or patch-cord termination is required. Verify that both connected devices support SFP+ AOC modules and are configured for 10Gbps operation. After insertion, check link status LEDs or device diagnostics to confirm a successful link. If necessary, adjust port configuration or firmware settings according to the equipment vendor guidelines.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its rated bend radius and avoid tight kinks; route it alongside other rack cabling to maintain airflow and minimize mechanical stress. Ensure compatibility with the host devices' SFP+ ports and check equipment documentation for any vendor compatibility notes. For reliable operation, keep firmware and drivers up to date and perform link testing after installation.
