CBO SFP+ aktívny optický kábel 10G 2m pre QNAP (SFP-AOC-10G-2M-QN-BO)

CBO SFP+ Active Optical Cable 10G 2m for QNAP (SFP-AOC-10G-2M-QN-BO) is a factory-terminated active optical cable that provides a direct 10 Gigabit connection between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and NAS devices. The 2‑metre fibre assembly uses SFP+ connectors on both ends to deliver short-reach high-bandwidth links with lower power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper direct-attach cables. Designed for use with QNAP systems and other compatible SFP+ equipment, this AOC supports data centre and enterprise-class traffic where reliable 10G links are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers low latency 10G transmission with minimal power draw and without the need for separate transceivers or fibre termination. The integrated optical link reduces signal degradation over short distances and eliminates crosstalk and electrical interference common to copper assemblies. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management in racks and server rooms while maintaining predictable thermal behaviour and stable throughput for storage, virtualization and aggregation links.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting SFP+ ports between QNAP NAS units and switches
• 10 Gigabit server-to-switch connections in rack environments
• Short-reach aggregation links in data centres and server rooms
• High-speed storage networks and virtualization hosts

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cable
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Cable type: Active optical fibre assembly
• Length: 2 metres
• Typical use case: Short-reach interconnects up to a few metres
• Electrical characteristics: Low power consumption compared to transceiver plus copper cabling
• Signal: Optical, immune to electromagnetic interference

How to use

Inspect both SFP+ ports to ensure they are compatible and powered down if required by the equipment vendor. Align each SFP+ connector with the corresponding port and insert until it latches; repeat for the other end. Power the devices and verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces. No additional fibre patching or transceiver modules are required because the optical engines are integrated into the cable assembly. For best results, avoid tight bends and protect the cable from sharp edges during routing.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks, maintain bend radii recommended for active optical cables, and confirm vendor compatibility with QNAP or other SFP+ hardware to ensure full link speed and management features.
