Cabo ótico ativo AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G 50M

The CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G 50M active optical cable is a pre-terminated, hot-pluggable SFP+ form‑factor solution engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 50 meters. It integrates optical transceivers and a duplex fiber link inside a single assembly, removing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. The cable is intended for short‑reach high‑speed interconnects between switches, servers and storage in data centre and enterprise network environments, offering straightforward installation and reduced cabling complexity.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers low latency and consistent 10G throughput while reducing component count by combining the transceiver and cable into one unit. Its SFP+ form factor supports hot‑swap insertion into compatible ports, simplifying maintenance and upgrades. The factory‑terminated optical interface eliminates onsite fiber termination and polishing, which shortens deployment time and lowers the risk of connection errors. The 50‑metre reach extends the practical layout options inside racks and across adjacent rooms without active optical modules or additional patch panels.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between top‑of‑rack and aggregation switches
• High‑speed server‑to‑switch and storage‑to‑switch connections
• Short‑reach interconnects in data centres and server rooms
• Environments where simplified cabling and reduced component management are required

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gb/s per channel compatible with 10GBASE‑SR/LR applications
• Connector / form factor: SFP+ hot‑pluggable modules integrated in a duplex AOC assembly
• Reach: 50 metres over active multimode optical link
• Latency: low, suitable for latency‑sensitive switching and storage traffic
• Power consumption: typical for active optical cable assemblies (integrated electronics)
• Installation: factory‑terminated, no field termination required

How to use

Insert each SFP+ end of the active optical cable into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the network devices until the retention latch clicks. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for 10Gb/s operation and that autonegotiation or the link speed settings match on both ends. No driver installation is normally required beyond the switch or server firmware recognizing standard SFP+ modules. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; follow device vendor guidelines for bend radius and port clearance.

Recommendations

For reliable long‑term performance, avoid kinks and maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, keep connectors free of dust and contamination, and verify compatibility with your switch or server vendor's supported SFP+ list before deployment. Use in climate‑controlled data centre environments and verify firmware or OS settings if link negotiation issues occur.
