Cabo ótico ativo CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J20M 10G 20M

The CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J20M 10G 20M active optical cable is a factory-terminated duplex SFP+ direct-attach solution that delivers 10 Gigabit connectivity over a 20-metre MPO-style optical assembly. Designed for short- to mid-range links in server racks, top-of-rack switches and storage arrays, this active optical cable provides a single-cable, plug-and-play alternative to separate transceivers and fiber patch leads. The sealed SFP+ connectors house the optical interface electronics, enabling low-latency, high-bandwidth links with reduced electrical interference compared with copper DACs.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers 10G bandwidth across a 20 m reach while eliminating the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and inventory. The integrated optical modules reduce heat and power consumption relative to some active copper alternatives and provide stable performance in congested rack environments. The factory termination and fixed-length design ensure consistent signal integrity and minimize the risk of connector or cable mismatches.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between servers and switches in data centers
• Connections between top-of-rack switches and aggregation switches
• High-speed storage area network (SAN) interconnects
• Campus backbone links requiring fixed, low-latency optical runs

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ duplex optical connectors
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit per second (10G)
• Cable type: active optical cable with integrated transceiver electronics
• Length: 20 metres
• Latency: low-latency optical transmission suitable for high-performance networking
• Power consumption: lower than many active copper solutions due to optical transmission
• Compatibility: designed for standard SFP+ ports supporting direct-attach optical links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the matching SFP+ port on networking equipment until the latch engages. Confirm link status through the device port indicators or management interface. No additional transceivers or optical patch cords are required; the cable is factory-terminated and should be treated as a fixed-length direct-attach link. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. For hot-plug operations, observe standard ESD precautions and follow the host equipment’s guidance on insertion and removal procedures.

Recommendations

Use this active optical cable for fixed, short- to mid-range 10G links where a reliable, low-latency optical connection is required. Validate compatibility with your switch or server vendor’s SFP+ policy if equipment restricts third-party optics, and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain.
