CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J30M 10G actieve optische kabel 30 m

The CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J30M 10G Active Optical Cable 30 m is a factory-terminated direct-attach fiber solution for SFP+ ports that carries 10 Gbps signals over a 30-m multimode fiber link. It integrates transceiver electronics and a fiber cable into a single assembly to provide low-latency, power-efficient connectivity without separate SFP+ modules and patch cords. The cable is intended for short-range high-speed links in data centers and enterprise networks where reliable 10 Gigabit uplinks, aggregation and server-to-switch connections are required.

Advantages

This active optical cable offers simplified installation and reduced component count because the transceiver is integrated, eliminating the need for separate modules and patch cables. It delivers 10 Gbps throughput with low latency and optimized power consumption compared with discrete optical transceivers and electrical copper DACs at similar lengths. The factory-terminated multimode design ensures consistent optical performance across the full 30 m length and reduces variability associated with field-terminated connectors.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit uplinks between switches and aggregation devices
• Server-to-switch direct connections in racks and aisles
• Short-range backbone links within data halls and network rooms
• High-density port environments where cable management and low power matter

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbps (SFP+ compatible)
• Cable type: Active Optical Cable (AOC), multimode fiber
• Length: 30 meters
• Connector type: SFP+ form-factor plug on both ends
• Latency: low-latency optical link suitable for data center traffic
• Power: integrated transceiver electronics with lower power consumption than comparable optics plus separate patch cords

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on switches, servers or storage devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are compatible with SFP+ ports and that device firmware or port settings support 10G optical links. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; multimode fiber requires minimum bend radii to maintain performance. No separate transceivers or patch cords are required—power and link negotiation are handled automatically by the integrated modules.

Recommendations

Verify port compatibility and vendor interoperability before deployment and follow data center installation guidelines for fiber routing and bend radius. Use this AOC for runs up to 30 m where a plug-and-play 10G SFP+ solution reduces installation time and component count compared with transceiver plus patch-cord configurations.
