CBO InfiniBand SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M-BO 30 m

CBO InfiniBand SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M-BO 30 m is a pre-terminated SFP+ active optical cable designed for high-speed server, switch and storage interconnects. With a 30-metre reach and SFP+ form-factor compatibility, this AOC delivers low-latency, secure optical links for data centre and high-performance computing environments that require reliable 10 Gb/s connections over longer distances than copper cables allow.

Advantages

The active optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and offers consistent signal integrity across the full 30 m length while consuming less power and generating less heat than comparable active copper assemblies. Pre-terminated SFP+ connectors simplify installation and minimise connector loss. The cable supports standard SFP+ ports for straightforward integration into existing network, storage and compute hardware without additional transceivers or adapters.

Suitable for

• Data centre switch-to-switch uplinks
• Server-to-switch connections in dense rack deployments
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and access to external arrays
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and compute node interconnects
• Environments needing low-latency 10 Gb/s links over distances up to 30 m

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor, pre-terminated
• Length: 30 metres
• Data rate support: 10 Gbit/s (per link)
• Media type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Compatibility: standard SFP+ ports on network, server and storage equipment

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the SFP+ connectors into compatible SFP+ ports on your switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of your hardware when inserting or removing SFP+ modules. Verify link status and speed through device management interfaces and monitor the connection for errors after initial deployment. No separate optical transceivers or fibre termination is required because the cable is factory-terminated with integrated SFP+ modules.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. Use in climate-controlled data centre environments and follow equipment vendor guidelines for SFP+ port compatibility and firmware updates to ensure stable operation at 10 Gb/s.
