Specifications

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is ≤0.5W. 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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 1x InfiniBand QDR, DDR, SDR, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

For this 7m (23ft) version, prepare the destination pathway before connecting either end. A longer assembly can cross separated equipment positions, but its weight and service slack must remain supported without blocking airflow. Handle the complete copper assembly and both connector housings as one factory-terminated product and never pull a connector into position by the cable. Within this family, SFP+ to SFP+-10G-ACC-5M16FT is shorter at 5m (16ft), while SFP+ to SFP+-10G-ACC-10M33FT is the next longer choice at 10m (33ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP+ to SFP+-10G-ACC-7M23FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP+ to SFP+-10G-ACC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft) and SFP+ to SFP+-10G-ACC-10M33FT 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.

Interoperability and Configuration Checks

Check three layers before deployment: the host must accept the cable identification, the port must support the stated aggregate rate, and the lane configuration must match the attached interfaces. On breakout hardware, also confirm channelization and the mapping of every branch. These checks are particularly important when similar-looking ports operate at different speeds or under different firmware settings. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 26AWG; the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is ≤0.5W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) 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.

Ordering Information

Specify the OEM part number and fixed length, then provide the intended host configuration if the link uses channelized or breakout ports. Separate part numbers should be used for separate lengths. This gives the compatibility review enough information to check both the physical assembly and the intended operating mode. Keep SFP+ to SFP+-10G-ACC-7M23FT associated with 7m (23ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

The verification process combines digital identification with a live link test and diagnostic observation. Host model, hardware revision and software release are useful inputs because qualification behavior can change between platform generations; those details allow platform-specific requirements to be reviewed before the cable is packed. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Shipping and Lead Time

Available stock is generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation, with production lead times advised for larger quantities. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Functional inspection covers identification, link establishment and the condition of both connector assemblies. The cable is then protected against dust and connector damage and packed without sharp bends. Labels can include the customer reference and host-platform note when requested for a controlled deployment. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
