Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 30m (98ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 10G performance with a fixed 30m (98ft) cable run. It corresponds to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30MHT Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 30m (98ft), (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M
• 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.

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 30m (98ft) 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-30M is the longest of 10 verified length options in this family. Compared with (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-25M at 25m (82ft), it provides 5m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

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 assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

This product is ordered as (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-30M in 30m (98ft). 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.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
