Brocade 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)

The 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 compatible cable combines 10G AOC connectivity with a defined 1m (3ft) pathway between SFP+ to SFP+ interfaces. It is intended for Brocade equipment and is documented here as a distinct order code, allowing cable schedules, service access and related length selections to be reviewed before installation.

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.
Structured Pathways and Serviceability
Treat the direct-attach assembly as part of the permanent pathway plan even when the link is expected to be temporary. Follow the intended horizontal and vertical managers, maintain the specified bend radius and leave service access around both ports. A small, supported service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack or placed under cable-tie pressure. 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.
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
At 1m (3ft), 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.
Position Within the Length Range
10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 is the shortest of 10 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is 10G-SFPP-AOC-0201 at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.
Ordering Information
Include the part number, fixed length, quantity and required pathway or rack grouping in the order information. The host model and firmware release are useful for change-controlled deployments. Different lengths should remain separate order lines so delivered labels and packing records agree with the pathway plan. Keep 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 associated with 1m (3ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing
Verification covers the physical connectors, expected host identity and an operating link with available diagnostic indications. We distinguish this complete check from a simple continuity test. Platform model and software release can be reviewed in advance where the installation has strict documentation or change-control requirements. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity and diagnostic indications.
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
After connector inspection and link verification, the assembly is coiled without tight bends and packed with end protection. Labels can cross-reference the customer cable schedule, OEM part number and length. This supports both receiving checks and later moves, adds or changes. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Brocade cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Brocade 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 refers here to 1m (3ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
