AOC CBO SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J3M 10G 3m cavo ottico attivo

AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J3M is a 10 Gigabit SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) with a 3-meter length designed for direct fiber connection between SFP+ ports. Manufactured by CBO under the BlueOptics brand, this 3 m AOC provides high-speed, low-latency links for server, switch and storage interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks where short-reach 10G connectivity is required. The cable integrates transceiver electronics and an optical fiber in a single assembly to simplify installation and reduce the number of separate optical transceivers required.

Advantages

The AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J3M offers 10G data rates over a fixed 3 m form factor, providing consistent throughput and reduced electrical interference compared with copper alternatives. As an active optical cable, it delivers low-latency performance suitable for dense rack environments and short-reach connections without the need for separate pluggable transceivers and fiber patch cords. The integrated design simplifies inventory and deployment while maintaining compatibility with SFP+ ports that accept AOC modules.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch interconnects in racks
• Switch-to-switch uplinks within data halls and cabinets
• Storage array connections requiring 10G short-reach links
• Enterprise network aggregation and top-of-rack deployments

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+ active optical cable
• Data rate: 10 Gigabit
• Cable length: 3 meters
• Cable type: integrated active optical assembly
• Use case: short-reach fiber connections between SFP+ ports

How to use

Insert each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on network equipment until the latch engages. Ensure both endpoints support AOC modules and are powered down or support hot-plug operation following the equipment manufacturer's guidance. After insertion, verify link status and data rate through the network device management interface or LED indicators. For removal, release the connector latch and gently pull the module straight out to avoid stressing the fiber assembly.

Recommendations

Use the AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J3M in short-reach 10G connections within the same rack or adjacent racks to maintain signal integrity and low latency. Verify compatibility with your switch and server vendors' support lists for SFP+ AOC modules and follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling and installation.
