CBO AOC BlueOptics BO353503J10M SFP+ 10G aktívny optický kábel, 10 m

CBO AOC BlueOptics BO353503J10M SFP+ 10G active optical cable, 10 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over a 10-meter distance. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a duplex multimode fiber channel in a single assembly, enabling compact, low-latency interconnects between switches, servers and storage systems without the need for separate transceiver modules. It is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth environments such as data centers and enterprise network racks where predictable 10G performance and simplified cabling are required.

Advantages

The AOC design delivers low power consumption compared with separate transceiver plus copper cabling, and reduces signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference by using an optical link. Hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors allow direct insertion into SFP+ ports on compatible networking equipment, simplifying deployment and reducing spare-part inventory. The integrated design minimizes footprint in high-density racks and helps maintain consistent latency and throughput across the 10 m link.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack and end-of-row switch interconnects in data centers
• Direct server-to-switch or server-to-storage 10G connections
• High-density rack installations requiring low-latency links
• Environments where reduced power and EMI immunity are important

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ hot-pluggable duplex
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 10 meters
• Medium: active optical cable with duplex multimode fiber
• Typical reach: optimized for short-reach links (10 m)
• Latency: low propagation delay characteristic of short optical links
• Power: integrated optical transceivers with low power consumption compared to separate modules

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are seated fully and that connected devices are powered and configured for 10G operation. No separate transceivers or patch panels are required; the AOC provides a plug-and-play optical link. Check device compatibility and port settings in your switch or server documentation if the link does not come up automatically.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; respect the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer. Use AOC links for short, fixed-length connections inside racks or between adjacent racks rather than long-distance runs. Ensure SFP+ port firmware and transceiver compatibility lists on your equipment are consulted to prevent link negotiation issues.
