CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J2M 10G 2M aktívny optický kábel, SFP+ duplex, 2 metre

The CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J2M 10G 2M active optical cable is a factory-assembled SFP+ duplex fiber link that provides a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection over a 2-meter reach. Intended for short-reach interconnects, this active optical cable integrates optical transceivers into a lightweight, low-profile cable assembly to eliminate separate modular transceivers and simplify deployment. It supports direct connections between switches, servers and network interface cards where compact, plug-and-play 10G links are required.

Advantages

The AOC offers a compact and power-efficient alternative to discrete transceivers and fiber patch cords, reducing connector density and heat footprint in rack environments. Because the optical interfaces are pre-terminated and tested at the factory, the cable provides consistent signal integrity and low latency for high-bandwidth links. Its 2-meter length is optimized for intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections, enabling straightforward, tool-free installation and immediate 10G operation without additional optics or calibration.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between top-of-rack switches and adjacent switches
• Direct links from servers to switches or NICs within the same rack
• High-density data center interconnects where space and power savings are needed
• Enterprise network segments requiring reliable low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ duplex plug-and-play active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G)
• Length: 2 meters
• Cable type: Active optical fiber assembly (AOC)
• Form factor: SFP+ compatible duplex connector ends
• Latency: low-latency design suitable for high-throughput links
• Power consumption: lower than equivalent electrical copper DAC solutions

How to use

Install the CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J2M by inserting each SFP+ plug into the appropriate SFP+ port on your switch, server or network adapter until the latch engages. Ensure devices support SFP+ AOC modules and are powered on; link negotiation is typically automatic and the connection should appear as a 10G link in device management interfaces. No separate transceivers, fiber patch cords, or manual optical cleaning are required for standard installation, although visual inspection of connector endfaces before insertion is recommended.

Recommendations

Use this 2-meter AOC for intra-rack or adjacent-rack 10G links to maximize cable management and minimize heat and power in dense deployments. Avoid tight bends and extreme tensile stress on the fiber assembly; follow vendor bend-radius guidelines and keep the cable secured to reduce movement. Verify firmware and compatibility notes for your networking equipment when mixing brands to ensure proper link enumeration and management.
