CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J20M 10G 20 m aktívny optický kábel

CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J20M is a 10G active optical cable (AOC) providing a 20 m duplex connection for short- to mid-range network interconnects. The cable integrates transceiver functionality in a pre-terminated assembly that connects directly to SFP+ ports, eliminating the need for separate optical transceivers. It is intended for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in data centers and enterprise networks that require compact, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with reduced cabling bulk in high-density rack environments.

Advantages

The integrated design reduces component count and simplifies installation by combining optics and cable into a single plug-and-play assembly compatible with SFP+ ports. With a 20 m reach, the AOC supports mid-range connections without external transceivers and minimizes signal loss typical of copper alternatives over similar distances. The low-latency optical link and compact form factor improve airflow and space utilization in dense rack deployments while providing consistent 10G performance.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch aggregation and spine-leaf links
• High-density rack environments where cable bulk must be minimized
• Short- to mid-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet interconnects
• Environments seeking lower latency than equivalent copper cabling

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ duplex plug-and-play assembly
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 20 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC) with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low optical latency suitable for performance-sensitive links
• Deployment: designed for short- to mid-range interconnects in racks and data centers

How to use

Install the BlueOptics BO353503J20M by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring proper orientation and a secure latch. No separate transceiver modules or fiber connectors are required; the assembly is pre-terminated. After physical connection, verify link status on both devices and configure network interfaces according to your existing switch or server configuration. Monitor link stability and port diagnostics through the network equipment management interface.

Recommendations

Use this AOC in managed rack runs and aggregation layers where 20 m reach is sufficient. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force on the cable to preserve optical performance. For redundancy and capacity planning, pair links and use switch port features such as LACP or link aggregation where appropriate.
