Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7M Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 7m (23ft)

With a fixed 7m (23ft) cable and SFP+ to SFP+, the (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7M compatible assembly simplifies 10G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Dell equipment.

OEM Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7MHT Part Number: (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7M
• 10G connectivity at 10Gbps
• Interface configuration: SFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7M
• 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.

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 7m (23ft) 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-7M occupies the middle of this family between (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-5M at 5m (16ft) and (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-10M at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 3m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes (Force10) CBL-10GSFP-AOC-7M. 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-7M in 7m (23ft). 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-7M and the 7m (23ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
