Cabo ótico ativo AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J30M 10G 30 m

The AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J30M 10G Active Optical Cable 30 m is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct connection cable that provides 10 Gbps data transmission over a 30-metre multimode link. Designed for use in SFP+ ports, this active optical cable integrates optical transceivers and multimode fiber into a single assembly, enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth links between network switches, servers and storage systems without the need for separate transceivers or patch fiber. The cable is intended for short-reach, high-speed environments such as data centre interconnects, server-to-switch connections and aggregation links where reliable 10GbE performance and simplified cabling are required.

Advantages

This AOC delivers 10 Gbps throughput with reduced power consumption compared to equivalent electrical copper DACs, while maintaining low latency and stable signal integrity over the full 30 m length. The pre-terminated SFP+ connectors eliminate separate transceiver modules and fibre patching, reducing installation time and points of failure. The multimode optical design supports consistent performance in typical data centre environments and helps lower electromagnetic interference concerns associated with copper cabling.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centres
• Switch-to-switch aggregation and spine/leaf links
• High-density rack interconnects where space and power efficiency matter
• Storage area network links with 10GbE requirements

Key specifications

• Connector type: SFP+ (integrated transceiver ends)
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 30 metres
• Fiber type: multimode optical fiber
• Operating mode: active optical cable with integrated optics
• Typical use case: short-reach 10GbE interconnects

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the appropriate SFP+ port on the network devices until the connector latches. No separate transceiver or fibre patching is required; the integrated module negotiates link parameters automatically with compatible SFP+ ports. Verify link status via device indicators or management interface and ensure both endpoints are configured for 10GbE operation. Avoid tight bends and mechanical stress along the cable route to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Route the cable through cable management pathways and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use compatible SFP+ ports that support active optical modules and confirm firmware or device compatibility if required. For reliable operation in high-density deployments, label both ends and document port assignments to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
