CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J2M 10G 2M

The CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J2M 10G 2M is an active optical cable with an integrated SFP+ connector and a fixed 2‑meter optical link. It delivers a 10 Gbps data rate tailored for direct connections between servers, switches and storage devices that support SFP+ interfaces. The cable combines low latency and reduced power consumption compared with equivalent copper solutions, while eliminating separate transceiver modules and simplifying rack cabling in data center and enterprise network environments.

Advantages

This BlueOptics active optical cable provides plug‑and‑play operation with hot‑pluggable SFP+ modules at both ends and a fixed, factory‑terminated fiber link. The 2 m length offers a compact routing option for short‑reach interconnects while avoiding electromagnetic interference and offering better signal integrity than long copper cables. The integrated design reduces assembly and inventory complexity and typically lowers power draw compared with long electrical cabling over equivalent distances.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch 10G connections in racks and top-of-rack deployments
• Switch-to-switch links within the same equipment room or adjacent racks
• Storage arrays and SAN interconnects requiring low-latency 10 Gbps links
• Environments where reduced EMI and simplified cabling are preferred

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form factor (hot-pluggable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Optical medium: active optical cable with fixed fiber
• Link length: 2 meters
• Typical use: short-reach interconnects for data center and enterprise networks
• Power and latency: lower power consumption and low latency compared with long copper alternatives

How to use

Install the BlueOptics BO353503J2M by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on the two devices you intend to link. Ensure that both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and that port firmware or compatibility lists allow third‑party optical cables if required. After insertion, the link should negotiate automatically; verify link status LEDs or system interfaces to confirm 10 Gbps operation. Route the 2 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer, avoid exposure to excessive heat or liquids, and check device compatibility lists if your network equipment restricts third‑party optics. Use the 2 m length for short‑reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks to maintain signal integrity and minimize clutter.
