CBO AOC SFP+ Planet SFP-AOC-10G-30M 10G Active Optical -kaapeli, 30 m

The CBO AOC SFP+ Planet SFP-AOC-10G-30M 10G Active Optical Cable, 30 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ AOC designed for short- to mid-range high-speed links. This 30‑metre active optical assembly delivers 10 Gigabit connectivity between SFP+ ports on servers, switches and storage devices. The integrated transceivers and fiber cable reduce the need for separate modules, lower power consumption compared with electrical DACs over longer reaches, and simplify rack-to-rack or shelf-to-shelf interconnects in data centre and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable provides a consistent 10G link with low latency and high signal integrity over a 30 m distance. Its factory-polished connectors and integrated optics eliminate module compatibility issues and speed up deployment. The low power profile improves overall system efficiency, and the thin, flexible cable design helps with cable routing and airflow in dense rack deployments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit links between top-of-rack and spine switches
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-storage interconnects
• Data centre rack-to-rack connections where 30 m reach is required
• High-density environments requiring compact, low-power cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ compatible, integrated transceivers
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second
• Length: 30 metres
• Cable type: Active optical fibre assembly
• Connector style: SFP+ form-factor plugs at both ends
• Latency: Low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power consumption: Lower than equivalent electrical direct attach for similar reaches
• Deployment: Designed for rack-to-rack and shelf interconnects in data centre and enterprise networks

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ plug into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices until the module latches. Ensure devices are powered and ports configured for 10G operation according to the host equipment documentation. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required. For best results, verify link status on both ends and confirm firmware or driver compatibility on network equipment if necessary.

Recommendations

Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling during installation; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. Use the cable for direct SFP+ port connections within racks or between adjacent racks up to 30 metres, and keep the assembly away from heat sources and sharp edges. For mixed-vendor environments, check interoperability notes on the switch or server vendor to ensure full compatibility.
