AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G aktívny optický kábel, 50 m

The AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G Active Optical Cable, 50 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ to SFP+ optical interconnect designed for short to mid-range 10 Gigabit links. This single-cable solution integrates optical transceivers within the cable assemblies to provide 10G full-duplex connectivity between servers, switches and storage systems without the need for separate pluggable modules. The fixed 50 m length simplifies link planning in data centers and enterprise racks while reducing the number of components and installation steps compared with discrete transceivers and fiber patch cords.

Advantages

The cable delivers low-latency 10G performance with predictable optical characteristics and a compact, lightweight construction that eases cable management in dense racks. By combining transceivers and fiber in one assembly it eliminates compatibility issues between modules and host ports, reduces power consumption relative to some standalone optics, and shortens provisioning time. The 50 m span covers common top-of-rack to aggregation or adjacent-rack runs, helping to minimize connection points and potential signal loss.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit connections between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Inter-switch links within the same room or adjacent racks
• High-performance storage area network (SAN) uplinks
• Data center deployments requiring predictable, low-latency links

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ connector on both ends for 10G Ethernet
• Type: Active Optical Cable with integrated transceivers
• Nominal data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (full duplex)
• Length: 50 metres (fixed length assembly)
• Media: single optical cable assembly with factory-terminated fibers
• Form factor: compact, lightweight cable suitable for dense cabling

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the host ports on the devices to be linked, ensuring correct orientation and a secure latch. No separate optical transceivers or fiber patching is required; the integrated ends are recognized as 10G SFP+ interfaces by compliant network equipment. Verify link status indicators on both devices after insertion, and follow standard ESD precautions and port handling procedures during installation to avoid damage to connectors or host equipment.

Recommendations

Use the cable for direct 10G connections within the specified 50 m reach and avoid tight bends or excessive pulling force on the assembly. Route the cable using proper cable management to reduce strain and maintain airflow in racks. Confirm interoperability with your network hardware vendor if the switch or server enforces vendor compatibility checks for optical interfaces.
