CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J3M 10GE-SFPP-AOC-0301 30m active optical cable, SFP+ to SFP+

Active Optical Cable CBO BlueOptics BO353503J3M 10GE-SFPP-AOC-0301 is a 30-meter SFP+ to SFP+ link designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable combines fiber-optic transmission with standard SFP+ pluggable connectors, enabling direct server-to-switch, switch-to-switch or rack-to-rack links without separate transceivers. It offers low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense data center environments and high-speed uplinks.

Advantages

This SFP+ AOC provides a compact, integrated solution that eliminates the need for separate optical modules and patch cords while preserving standard SFP+ compatibility. The 30 m length supports flexible rack placement and inter-rack connectivity. Fiber-based transmission ensures low signal attenuation over the stated distance and immunity to EMI, and the pluggable SFP+ form factor simplifies installation and maintenance in populated switch and server ports.

Suitable for

• Direct server-to-switch 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Switch-to-switch uplinks in data center racks
• Rack-to-rack links where copper reaches are insufficient or EMI is a concern
• High-density installations requiring pluggable SFP+ interfaces

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ pluggable connectors
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps)
• Length: 30 meters optical cable
• Transmission medium: multimode/mode-specified optical fiber suitable for SFP+ AOC operation
• Form factor: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low-latency optical link designed for short-reach high-speed connectivity
• Immunity: resistant to electromagnetic interference (EMI)

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on switches, servers or network devices while the devices are powered according to manufacturer guidance. The active optical cable is recognized as an SFP+ module on both ends and requires no separate transceivers or additional fiber patching. Confirm link status and speed on connected devices after insertion, and route the cable through racks or cable management to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain.

Recommendations

Ensure compatibility with your network equipment by verifying SFP+ port support for active optical cables and 10 Gbps operation. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius for the cable to preserve optical performance. For reliable operation, keep connectors clean and protect unused ports with dust caps when the cable is not installed.
