CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J2M 10G 2M cable óptico activo (SFP+ a SFP+)

Active optical cable CBO AOC BlueOptics BO353503J2M is a 2-meter SFP+ to SFP+ direct-attach cable that supports 10 Gbps data rates. The cable is intended for short-reach, high-bandwidth links between switches, servers and network interface cards. It uses optical transmission within the cable assembly to provide lower electromagnetic interference and consistent signal integrity compared with copper DACs, while offering plug-and-play installation and low latency for data center and enterprise networking environments.

Advantages

The CBO AOC BlueOptics BO353503J2M combines the compact SFP+ form factor with active optical components to deliver 10 GbE connectivity over a 2 m span. It reduces power consumption relative to some transceiver-plus-fiber combinations and eliminates the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The optical link provides immunity to electromagnetic interference, stable signal quality at high speeds and minimal crosstalk in densely cabled racks.

Suitable for

• Short-reach uplinks between top-of-rack and aggregation switches
• Direct server-to-switch connections for 10 GbE NICs
• High-density switch deployments in data centers
• Environments where reduced EMI and compact cabling are required

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ to SFP+ (active optical cable)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Transmission medium: multimode optical link within AOC assembly
• Latency: low inherent latency suitable for networking and storage traffic
• Form factor: hot-pluggable SFP+ connectors

How to use

Install the CBO AOC BlueOptics BO353503J2M by inserting each SFP+ connector into compatible SFP+ ports on networking equipment or server NICs while the devices are powered according to vendor guidelines for hot-plug operations. The cable is recognized automatically by most modern switches and servers; verify link status through device management interfaces and monitor port LEDs to confirm an active 10 Gbps connection. No additional transceivers or patch fibers are required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the AOC to avoid excessive bending or tension and maintain a bend radius consistent with optical cable handling guidance. Use the 2 m length for short-reach runs inside racks or between adjacent racks; for longer distances, choose appropriate optical transceivers and fiber. Check compatibility notes for your switch or server vendor if using vendor-locked equipment.
