Network Cable Cisco 10m SFP+ SFP+ InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 10m

The Cisco 10m SFP+ SFP+ InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 10m is a 10-metre active optical cable designed to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity between SFP+ ports. With SFP+ connectors on both ends and a 10 m length, this cable supports short-reach links in data centres, server rooms and network racks where reliable 10 Gigabit-class links are required. It is intended for use where an optical interconnect with minimal interference and stable throughput is preferred over copper.

Advantages

This Cisco SFP+ InfiniBand fibre optic cable delivers consistent high-bandwidth transmission across a 10 m span while keeping signal loss and electromagnetic interference to a minimum. The SFP+ terminations ensure compatibility with SFP+ ports on switches, routers and host adapters that accept optical SFP+ modules. Its fixed-length optical design removes the need for separate transceivers and patch cords, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to top-of-rack or spine switches at 10 Gbps
• High-performance computing clusters and InfiniBand fabric links
• Data centre interconnects and aggregation links
• Low-latency storage area network links requiring optical connectivity

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Connector type: SFP+ to SFP+
• Media: active optical cable (fibre optic)
• Supported link class: 10 Gigabit-class SFP+ connections
• Typical use: short-reach interconnects within racks and between adjacent racks

How to use

Inspect both SFP+ ports on the devices to confirm they accept optical SFP+ modules or AOC cables, and ensure devices are powered down or that hot-plug procedures for your hardware are followed. Align the SFP+ connectors with the ports and insert the cable until the latch engages. Verify link status on both endpoints and configure network settings (speed, duplex, VLANs, or fabric parameters) as required by your environment. For maintenance, disconnect by pressing the latch and pulling the connector straight out to avoid damaging the port.

Usage recommendations

Install this Cisco 10 m SFP+ fibre optic cable in clean rack environments, avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the cable, and route it away from strong heat sources. Use proper ESD precautions when handling SFP+ ports and connectors. Confirm compatibility with device documentation before deployment to ensure optimal link negotiation and performance.
