Cavo ottico attivo CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J7M 10G 7M

The CBO AOC SFP+ BlueOptics BO353503J7M 10G 7M active optical cable is a factory-terminated SFP+ direct-attach solution that provides 10 Gbps connectivity over a 7-metre link. It integrates optical transceivers and a duplex multimode fiber pathway into a single hot-pluggable assembly, enabling short-range high-speed connections between SFP+ ports on switches, servers and storage systems without separate transceiver modules. The cable is intended for compact, low-latency links in data centre top-of-rack and rack-to-rack deployments.

Advantages

The BlueOptics active optical cable delivers consistent 10 Gbps throughput with reduced power consumption compared with separate transceiver plus copper cabling for similar reach. Its pre-assembled design removes the need for individual transmitter and receiver modules, simplifying installation and reducing inventory complexity. With optical signalling and integrated electronics, the cable supports long 7-metre reach with low insertion loss and stable signal integrity across short-range interconnects.

Suitable for

• Top-of-rack switch to server uplinks requiring 10 Gbps
• Rack-to-rack interconnects in dense cabling environments
• High-bandwidth storage network connections
• Data centre environments where hot-pluggable, low-latency links are needed

Key specifications

• Interface: SFP+ form factor, duplex
• Data rate: 10 Gbps
• Length: 7 metres
• Medium: active optical cable with integrated transceivers
• Latency: low, suitable for short-range high-speed links
• Compatibility: designed for SFP+ ports on networking and server equipment
• Connector: SFP+ hot-pluggable modules at both ends

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ port on the networking switch, server or storage device until the connector latches. No additional transceiver modules or fibre patching are required. Ensure equipment ports are powered and configured for 10 Gbps operation and verify link status in the device management interface. For removal, disengage the connector latch and pull the module straight out to avoid damaging the socket.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it with appropriate cable management to maintain bend radii and prevent strain on connectors. Use in environments matching manufacturer operating temperature and handling guidelines, and verify that connected devices support SFP+ active optical cable assemblies to ensure link compatibility and optimal performance.
