SFP+ Active Optical Cable CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J2M 2 m 10GbE

Active Optical Cable CBO BlueOptics BO353503J2M is a 2‑meter SFP+ direct-attach solution designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The pre‑terminated cable integrates transceiver functionality into a single SFP+ form‑factor assembly, offering a compact optical connection for short‑reach interconnects between servers, switches and storage devices. The cable supports 10GbE data rates while reducing the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cords in dense rack environments.

Advantages

The BlueOptics AOC provides reduced installation complexity by delivering a plug‑and‑play SFP+ assembly with factory‑terminated optical fiber. Its integrated design lowers power consumption compared with separate electrical transceivers plus patchcords and saves rack space through a compact connector profile. The 2 m length is optimized for top‑of‑rack to aggregation or server‑to‑switch connections, and the optical medium offers immunity to electromagnetic interference for reliable short‑reach links.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach server-to-switch 10GbE connections in data centers
• Top‑of‑rack uplinks and aggregation within racks
• Storage network interconnects requiring low latency and compact cabling

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ active optical cable (AOC)
• Length: 2 meters
• Supported data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Connector type: SFP+ plug on both ends
• Transmission medium: optical fiber (pre‑terminated within cable assembly)
• Connector color: blue housing

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the SFP+ ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring the module latches are engaged. No additional transceivers or fiber patch cords are required. After physical installation, confirm link status on both devices and configure interface settings as needed for 10GbE operation. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the specified bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m AOC for intra-rack and short inter‑rack connections where 10GbE throughput and low latency are required. Verify device compatibility with SFP+ AOC modules and ensure proper port firmware or driver support. Store and route the cable to avoid excessive bending, crushing or exposure to sources of mechanical stress.
