Specifications

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.

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

With 50m (164ft) available, the installer has more routing freedom but also more cable to control. Determine where any remaining service loop will be stored, preserve the stated bend radius and keep the loop away from sharp edges and hot exhaust. The integrated optical cable and both optical engines should remain accessible for inspection and removal. Within this family, SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-1M3FT is shorter at 1m (3ft), while SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-70M230FT is the next longer choice at 70m (230ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.

Position Within the Length Range

SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-50M164FT occupies the middle of this family between SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft) and SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-70M230FT at 70m (230ft). It adds 49m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 20m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Mixed-Vendor Network Operation

A mixed-vendor link should be documented at both ends, not treated as one generic connection. Confirm which OEM identity each host expects and whether the two ends use the same compatibility requirement. The related brand links below help locate equivalent-length assemblies, while the physical form factor and lane arrangement must still agree across the complete path. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFF-8431,10GBASE Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Testing addresses the brand-specific identification as well as the operating link and available diagnostics. The same physical cable family can require a different host identity for another equipment vendor, so the intended platform should be supplied when a deployment combines multiple brands or unusual hardware revisions. The check includes receive activity and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Ordering Information

For mixed-vendor projects, identify the equipment at both ends along with the OEM reference, length and quantity. Order each compatibility version under its own part number. If spare assemblies are required, list them separately so labels and test records remain unambiguous. Quantity and any labeling instructions should be attached specifically to SFP+ to SFP+-10G-AOC-50M164FT.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

Both ends are inspected and the complete assembly is powered up for a functional check before packing. Connectors are protected individually and the cable is secured without tight bends. Optional labels can distinguish host brand, OEM reference and length for easier spares management. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
