AOC SFP+ aktívny optický kábel CBO BlueOptics BO353503J1M 10G 1m

The AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO BlueOptics BO353503J1M 10G 1m is a factory-terminated, fixed-length optical link for SFP+ ports that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This 1-metre Active Optical Cable integrates optical transceivers and a low-power laser driver into a single cable assembly, providing direct, low-latency connectivity between switches, servers and other SFP+ capable devices. The cable is designed for short-reach links within racks and between adjacent racks in data centers and enterprise network environments and offers plug-and-play operation without the need for separate transceivers or fiber patch cords.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable delivers 10 Gbps throughput with minimal latency and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its integrated design lowers power consumption and simplifies cabling by eliminating separate fiber transceivers and patch cables. The fixed 1 m length reduces excess cable management complexity in dense rack deployments and supports hot-plug insertion for quick replacement or reconfiguration. The product is suitable for deployments requiring consistent optical performance and simplified physical layer management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches within a rack
• Server-to-switch links in data center top-of-rack and middle-of-row configurations
• Short-reach interconnects where low latency and energy efficiency are priorities
• Environments that require plug-and-play SFP+ connectivity without separate transceivers

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ Active Optical Cable (fixed-assembly)
• Rated data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 1 metre (fixed)
• Interface compatibility: SFP+ ports (hot-pluggable)
• Transmission medium: optical (active cable with integrated transceivers)
• Typical use: short-reach rack and adjacent-rack interconnects
• Latency: low, suitable for latency-sensitive applications
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent copper direct-attach cables due to optical design

How to use

Ensure that both devices have compatible SFP+ ports and that firmware or vendor compatibility requirements are met. With devices powered on or off according to your maintenance procedures, insert each SFP+ connector end into the corresponding SFP+ slot until it clicks. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no separate transceiver modules or additional fiber patching. Monitor link status LEDs and network management tools to confirm a 10 Gbps connection; perform standard network tests to verify throughput and latency after installation.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m AOC for short-reach links inside racks or between adjacent racks to minimize cable slack and improve airflow. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling on the cable assembly; follow rack management best practices to prevent strain on the SFP+ connectors. For multi-vendor environments, confirm SFP+ compatibility or interoperability lists before deployment and perform staged rollouts to validate behavior under load.
