AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J20M Cable AOC pasivo 10G 20M, CBO

The AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J20M is a 20-meter passive active optical cable (AOC) designed for 10G SFP+ ports. It provides a factory-terminated optical link that replaces copper DACs and short multimode fiber assemblies for short-reach 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable is intended for direct device-to-device connections in environments that require a stable 10G link over a fixed 20 m distance, such as data centers and server rooms.

Advantages

This 10G passive AOC offers low-latency transmission and immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Its fixed-length, factory-terminated design simplifies installation and reduces connector polishing or field termination tasks. The cable's SFP+ form-factor connectivity ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ optical modules, enabling a plug-and-play optical link without separate transceivers or patch panels for short runs.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch 10G links within racks or across adjacent rows
• Switch-to-switch short-distance uplinks in data centers
• Top-of-rack connections where a fixed 20 m optical cable is required
• High-density patching scenarios that benefit from low cable diameter and flexibility

Key specifications

• Transmission speed: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G)
• Connector type: SFP+ on both ends (active optical cable assembly)
• Length: 20 meters
• Media: optical fiber within an active optical cable construction
• Latency: suitable for low-latency short-reach links
• EMI immunity: inherent to optical transmission
• Installation: factory-terminated, plug-and-play for SFP+ ports

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the network devices until the retention latch engages. Ensure both devices support 10G SFP+ optical connections and that the ports are enabled in the device configuration. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius where applicable. After physical installation, verify link status and speed through the device management interface or network monitoring tools.

Recommendations

For optimal reliability, use this AOC for permanent short-distance 10G links inside controlled environments such as data centers or server rooms. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or mechanical strain. Confirm compatibility with your switch or server vendor for SFP+ AOC modules where vendor lock-in or interoperability restrictions may apply.
