Cabo ótico ativo AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G 50 m

The AOC optical active cable CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G 50 m is a factory-terminated, fixed-length active optical cable designed to provide 10 Gigabit connectivity between SFP+ ports over a 50 metre span. Intended as a single-cable solution that integrates optical transceivers and fiber, this AOC eliminates the need for separate SFP+ transceivers and patch cords. The cable supports low-latency, energy-efficient optical transmission suitable for short-range data centre links, server-to-switch connections and uplinks within racks and across adjacent equipment rows.

Advantages

This AOC offers a compact, fixed-length optical link that reduces installation time and simplifies inventory management by replacing discrete transceivers and short patch cables. The integrated design lowers power consumption compared with copper alternatives at equivalent data rates and provides immunity to electromagnetic interference. Low latency and consistent optical performance support reliable 10 Gigabit links in dense rack environments while the factory-terminated connectors ensure predictable signal characteristics and minimal connector loss.

Suitable for

• Short-distance 10 Gigabit links between servers and top-of-rack or leaf switches
• Data centre interconnects within or between adjacent racks
• High-density networking environments requiring low-latency, low-power links
• Situations where simplified cabling and reduced inventory of spare transceivers are desired

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ compatible fixed active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector: factory-terminated SFP+ optical ends for direct insertion into SFP+ ports
• Transmission medium: single-unit active optical cable with integrated optical transceivers
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for time-sensitive applications

How to use

Install the AOC by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ port on the equipment until the connector latches. Ensure both devices support SFP+ AOC connections and are powered off or that the ports are hot-swappable according to the equipment manufacturer's guidance. After insertion, verify link status via device LEDs or management interfaces and confirm the negotiated 10 Gigabit link speed. Avoid bending the cable beyond manufacturer-recommended bend radii and route the cable to prevent tight bends or crushing.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable using the protective dust caps until installation. Maintain gentle cable radii during routing, avoid sharp bends and physical strain, and verify compatibility with the SFP+ ports on both devices to ensure proper link operation and long-term reliability.
