AOC CBO BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G actieve optische kabel 50 m

The AOC CBO BlueOptics BO353503J50M 10G Active Optical Cable 50 m is a factory-terminated multimode fiber assembly that provides a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection over a 50‑metre link. Engineered for data center and network interconnect environments, this active optical cable integrates optical transceivers into the cable ends so it operates as a single plug-and-play link between compatible SFP+ ports. The design reduces cabling weight and improves signal integrity compared with equivalent copper assemblies, while maintaining low latency and full duplex 10G throughput.

Advantages

This 50 m AOC delivers consistent 10G performance across multimode fiber with lower power consumption at the endpoints compared to discrete transceiver plus patch-cord solutions. Built-in optical components eliminate the need for separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. The cable’s lightweight construction and flexible jacket make routing in dense rack environments easier, and the integrated active electronics preserve signal quality over the full 50 m distance.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch uplinks and aggregation links
• High-density rack cabling where reduced weight is beneficial
• Environments requiring low-latency 10 Gigabit links over multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10G)
• Length: 50 metres
• Fiber type: multimode
• Connector interface: SFP+ compatible integrated transceiver ends
• Transmission mode: full duplex
• Designed use: active optical cable with integrated optics

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ end into a compatible SFP+ port on your network devices. Ensure devices are powered and support AOC modules on their SFP+ ports; the cable should be recognized as a direct-attached optical link. Route the cable through racks and cable management with gentle bends, avoiding sharp kinks and excessive tensile force. No separate transceivers or external power connections are required beyond the host devices.

Recommendations

Verify compatibility with your network equipment firmware and vendor support lists before deployment. Maintain recommended bend radius and avoid tight cable bundles near heat sources. For critical links, monitor link status after installation and keep the optical endfaces clean to ensure expected 10G performance.
