Specifications

Power and Thermal Planning

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.

Integrated Optical Assembly

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.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

The extended 7m (23ft) configuration gives SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-7M23FT a specific place in the family reach range. It should not be treated as a universal substitute for every shorter order code. Match it to a documented route, protect the integrated optical cable and both optical engines during handling and retain the part-number label for later maintenance. Within this family, SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-5M16FT is shorter at 5m (16ft), while SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-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-AOC-7M23FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft) and SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-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 minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is <0.8W; the jacket material is OFNP.

Cable Construction and Routing

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.

Network and Protocol Considerations

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.

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-AOC-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. Where supported by the host, receive activity and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.

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. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.

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. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
