SFP+ AOC CBO BlueOptics BO353503J10M 10G copper active optical cable 10 m

The SFP+ AOC CBO BlueOptics BO353503J10M 10G copper active optical cable 10 m is a factory-terminated active optical cable in SFP+ form factor designed for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. It provides a direct SFP+ to SFP+ connection over a 10-metre AOC, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch fiber assemblies. The cable integrates optical transceivers and a thin, flexible fiber assembly to deliver high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity for server-to-switch, switch-to-switch and storage network applications.

Advantages

This BlueOptics AOC offers simplified installation by connecting directly into SFP+ ports without additional optics or patch cables. The integrated active components reduce overall power consumption compared with discrete transceiver plus fiber solutions and ensure consistent electrical and optical performance across the link. The 10 m length provides increased layout flexibility in data center and equipment-rack environments while maintaining 10 Gbps bandwidth and low latency.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch high-speed connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch stacking or uplink links within the same facility
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects and access links
• High-density rack deployments where low power and reduced cabling complexity are needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: SFP+ direct-attach active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: SFP+ ports at both ends (hot-pluggable)
• Physical medium: active optical fiber assembly with embedded transceivers
• Suitable reach: short-reach links within data centers and equipment rooms

How to use

Insert each SFP+ module end into the corresponding SFP+ port on your networking devices until the latch engages. Ensure devices are powered and ports are enabled; the link should negotiate to 10 Gbps automatically if both ends support the same speed and settings. Handle the AOC by the connector housings and avoid excessive bending of the cable bundle. No separate transceivers or fiber patching is required.

Recommendations

Confirm compatibility with the host devices' SFP+ port vendor or interoperability lists if required by your equipment policy. Maintain recommended bend radius for the cable and route within rack management trays to avoid mechanical stress. For optimal performance, monitor interface statistics and link status through network management tools after installation.
