Cabo ótico ativo SFP+ CBO AOC QNAP SFP-AOC-10G-5M 10Gbps 5 m

The CBO AOC QNAP SFP-AOC-10G-5M SFP+ Active Optical Cable provides a 5 metre direct connection for SFP+ ports with a 10 Gbps data rate. Designed for compatibility with QNAP-capable SFP+ networking equipment, this active optical cable integrates transceiver functionality into the cable ends, removing the need for separate optics and fiber patch cords. The cable supports short-distance interconnects between servers, switches and storage units while maintaining low latency and stable throughput.

Advantages

This SFP+ Active Optical Cable offers a compact, plug-and-play alternative to discrete transceivers and patch cables, simplifying rack and rack-to-rack cabling. With integrated optics and a 10 Gbps link speed, it reduces power consumption and heat compared with some copper solutions. The 5 m length balances reach for typical data center or server-room layouts while avoiding signal conversion points that add latency.

Suitable for

• Direct connections between servers equipped with SFP+ ports
• Switch-to-switch or switch-to-storage links in data centers and server rooms
• Short-distance high-speed interconnects in rack or adjacent racks

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form factor (integrated active optical transceivers)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 5 metres
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: Short-reach multimode-equivalent optical link for SFP+ ports

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector end into the SFP+ port of the two devices to be linked, ensuring correct orientation and a secure latch. No additional transceiver modules or fiber patching is required; the devices should detect the active optical cable and negotiate the link at 10 Gbps according to their supported settings. Verify link status via the device management interface and confirm required network settings such as duplex and flow control.

Recommendations

Install and remove the cable with the devices powered down when possible to avoid transient link issues. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radii recommended for AOC assemblies. For reliable operation, use this cable for distances up to 5 m between SFP+ ports and verify compatibility with the specific QNAP or third-party device firmware if device-level vendor checks are enforced.
