Cabo ótico ativo CBO AOC BlueOptics BO353503J2M 10G (AOC) 2 m

The CBO AOC BlueOptics BO353503J2M 10G Active Optical Cable (AOC) 2 m provides a 10 Gbps SFP+ connection over a 2 metre duplex optical link. Designed for short‑reach interconnects in data centers, server racks and storage systems, this active optical cable offers plug‑and‑play SFP+ compatibility and low power consumption. The cable replaces equivalent copper connections for rack‑to‑rack and switch‑to-server links, delivers immunity to electromagnetic interference and supports high‑density installations where space and airflow considerations are important.

Advantages

The AOC construction ensures a light, flexible link with reduced cable bulk compared to traditional copper SFP+ DACs, while active optical transceivers maintain signal integrity over the 2 m distance. Low electrical power draw decreases heat output in dense racks, and the optical medium eliminates susceptibility to EMI. Compatibility with SFP+ ports simplifies deployment without requiring additional transceivers or patch panels for short‑reach 10 Gbps connections.

Suitable for

• Rack‑to‑rack and switch‑to‑server 10 Gbps links in data centers
• Top‑of‑rack switch connections to storage or compute nodes
• High‑density networking deployments with limited cable routing space
• Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+)
• Cable type: Active duplex optical cable
• Length: 2 m
• Connector form factor: SFP+ compatible ends
• Power consumption: low power design for reduced rack heat
• EMI performance: immune to electromagnetic interference
• Use case: short‑reach data center and rack‑to‑rack links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ end into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the networking devices until the connector latches. Ensure both devices are powered down if the vendor recommends hot‑plug precautions, then power on and verify link status via the device management interface. No external transceivers or media converters are required; the link operates as a standard SFP+ connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m AOC for short‑reach connections inside racks or between adjacent racks where 10 Gbps SFP+ ports are available. Avoid tight bending and exposure to mechanical stress. For longer distances or different connector types, select appropriate optical modules or passive/active cabling suited to the required reach.
