Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

The HT-manufactured (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M compatible cable provides 10G connectivity for Dell equipment. This 20m (66ft) version is a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 20m (66ft), (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M
• Cable construction: 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.

(Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M occupies the middle of this family between (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-15M at 15m (49ft) and (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-25M at 25m (82ft). It adds 5m 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.

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 20m (66ft) 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.

Each (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Dell platform should be included with the order.

This product is ordered as (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M in 20m (66ft). 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.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-20M and the 20m (66ft) length for easier inventory control.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
