CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J15M 10G 15m cable óptico activo

CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J15M 10G 15m active optical cable is a factory-terminated SFP+ active optical cable (AOC) designed for direct optical links between SFP+ ports. With a 15 metre length it enables server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centre and enterprise network environments without the need for separate transceivers. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet data rates and delivers low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference for stable high-speed links.

Advantages

The AOC provides a single-cable solution that integrates optical transceivers and duplex fibre into a compact SFP+ form factor, simplifying installation and reducing cabling complexity. It offers low power consumption compared with discrete transceiver plus fibre assemblies, predictable performance over the specified length, and resistance to electromagnetic noise. The fixed-length optical connection reduces points of failure and eases management in rack and data centre deployments.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and aggregation links
• High-density rack deployments where compact, low-power links are needed
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ plug-and-play active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector: duplex SFP+ end connectors for direct port insertion
• Transmission medium: active optical (fiber) with integrated electronics
• Typical use: short to medium reach within racks and across adjacent racks
• Performance: low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference
• Power: lower power consumption compared with separate transceiver plus passive fibre options

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the connected devices until the latch engages. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC modules and are configured for 10 Gigabit operation. No separate transceivers or fibre termination are required; the AOC behaves as a direct SFP+ link. Verify link status in the device management interface and check LED indicators to confirm an active connection.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum recommended bend radius for optical cables. Use proper airflow and cable management in racks to prevent strain on SFP+ connectors. Confirm compatibility with switch and server vendor platforms if vendor interoperability information is required, and test the link after installation to ensure expected throughput and error rates.
