Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 10m (33ft)

This 10m (33ft) AOC cable is built for Dell equipment requiring the (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M interface. The 10Gbps link uses SFP+ to SFP+ and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

OEM Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10MHT Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 10m (33ft), (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M
• 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 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 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 extended 10m (33ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

(Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M occupies the middle of this family between (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7M at 7m (23ft) and (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-15M at 15m (49ft). It adds 3m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the SFP+ to SFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

This product is ordered as (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M in 10m (33ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Every (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 10m (33ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
