Cabo InfiniBand CBO CBL-10GSFP-AOC-3M-BO — 3 m SFP+ cabo ótico ativo, BlueOptics

CBO CBL-10GSFP-AOC-3M-BO is a 3-meter SFP+ active optical cable from BlueOptics designed for short-reach InfiniBand and Ethernet links at 10 Gbps. The pre-terminated AOC integrates optics and transceivers in a single, lightweight cable assembly to provide interference-free, low-latency connections between compatible SFP+ ports on servers, switches and storage systems. Its compact form factor and blue jacket make it suitable for dense rack environments where reliable high-speed connectivity is required without the complexity of separate fiber connectors and transceivers.

Advantages

The active optical construction delivers stable 10 Gbps performance with low power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared with copper alternatives. Pre-terminated SFP+ connectors eliminate field termination and simplify installation and replacement. The 3 m length balances reach and cable management in data center topologies while the lightweight design reduces strain on port assemblies and patching panels. Compatibility with standard SFP+ ports ensures straightforward integration into existing network or storage infrastructures supporting short-reach fiber links.

Key specifications

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible SFP+ ports and support active optical cables. Power off or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by your hardware vendor, then insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding port until it latches. Route the 3 m cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; the integrated transceivers remove the need for separate fiber patching. After connection, verify link status and negotiated speed through the network equipment management interface and monitor for stable operation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain the cable bend radius recommended by the manufacturer and avoid exposure to excessive heat or mechanical stress. Use this 3 m AOC in short-reach topologies where 10 Gbps density is required and keep firmware of connected devices up to date to ensure compatibility with SFP+ modules and active optical assemblies.
