Brocade 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501 Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 10G performance with a fixed 5m (16ft) cable run. It corresponds to Brocade 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501 and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501HT Part Number: 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501
• Cable construction: OM2/OM3
• Maximum power consumption: <0.8W
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

The rated power consumption is <0.8W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

The 5m (16ft) length gives 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501 more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. The integrated optical assembly should be supported along its route without tight bends or connector pull loads; the AOC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

10G-SFPP-AOC-0501 occupies the middle of this family between 10G-SFPP-AOC-0301 at 3m (10ft) and 10G-SFPP-AOC-0701 at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFF-8636, 1xInfiniBand QDR,DDR,SDR, 10G Gigabit Ethernet. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 5m (16ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Brocade software can request a pre-order check.

Use part number 10G-SFPP-AOC-0501 for the 5m (16ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
