CBO optical AOC cable SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J10M 10G 10M

CBO BlueOptics BO353503J10M is an active optical cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors that supports 10G data rate over a 10-meter length. Designed for short-range high-speed connections, this AOC links switches, servers and other network equipment equipped with SFP+ ports. The cable provides low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference, simplifying cabling in data centers and server rooms while maintaining consistent 10 Gigabit performance.

Advantages

The BlueOptics BO353503J10M AOC delivers a reliable 10G connection without the need for separate transceivers and patch cables, reducing connector count and potential points of failure. Its optical transmission removes susceptibility to electrical noise and crosstalk, making it suitable for dense rack environments. The fixed 10 m length enables flexible placement of equipment within racks and across aisles while keeping insertion loss and signal integrity optimized for short-range 10 Gigabit links.

Suitable for

• Short-range interconnects between switches in data centers
• Server-to-switch connections within racks or across server rooms
• High-speed links for storage area networks and virtualization hosts
• Deployment where electromagnetic immunity and low latency are required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ (active optical cable)
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second
• Length: 10 meters
• Cable type: Active optical cable (fiber-based)
• Typical use: Short-range, high-speed interconnects

How to use

Install the BlueOptics BO353503J10M by plugging each SFP+ connector directly into compatible SFP+ ports on network devices. Ensure both endpoints support 10G SFP+ AOC modules and that ports are enabled in device firmware. Once seated, devices should auto-negotiate the link at 10G where supported; verify link status and throughput via switch or server management interfaces. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, maintain bend radius limits recommended by the manufacturer, ensure SFP+ ports are compatible with AOC modules, and verify firmware and driver support for 10G links. Use the 10 m length for short-range topologies within racks or across aisles; avoid using AOC in environments where external mechanical stress or repeated flexing is expected.
