AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J30M Cable óptico activo 10G 30 m

The AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J30M 10G Active Optical Cable 30 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution that delivers 10 Gbps data rates over OM3/OM4 multimode fiber for up to 30 metres. Designed for use with SFP+ ports, this active optical cable integrates transceiver electronics and fiber in a single plug‑and‑play assembly, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords while providing low latency and stable high-bandwidth performance for rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch and server-to-storage connections.

Advantages

The cable combines the compact form factor of SFP+ interfaces with the signal integrity and reach benefits of multimode fiber, offering reduced electromagnetic interference and lower power consumption compared with some copper alternatives. Plug-and-play operation simplifies deployment and reduces spare-part inventory by removing separate transceivers and fiber patch cords. The integrated active components maintain signal quality over the 30 m OM3/OM4 link and support consistent 10 Gbps throughput suitable for data centre and campus network environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches in data centres and server rooms
• Server-to-storage links in SAN and hyperconverged environments
• High-bandwidth aggregation links on network racks and top-of-rack deployments
• Cable runs where low latency and EMI immunity are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ form factor, plug‑and‑play
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 30 metres
• Fiber type: OM3/OM4 multimode
• Link type: Active optical cable (integrated transceivers and fiber)
• Typical use: Short‑reach data centre interconnects

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ connector into matching SFP+ ports on the equipment until the latch engages. The assembly is recognized as a direct optical link and requires no additional transceiver modules or separate fiber patching. Ensure both ends are seated properly and verify link status on connected devices. For reliable operation, route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress and keep connectors clean during installation.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its specified 30 m range over OM3/OM4 multimode infrastructure and confirm compatibility with the host equipment's SFP+ port policy. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile load; store unused connectors with protective caps to prevent contamination. For long-term reliability, periodically inspect connector endfaces and re-seat connections if link errors occur.
