SFP-10G-AOC10M Description
SFP-10G-AOC10M is a Cisco 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ active optical cable assembly in the Cisco 10GBASE SFP+ module portfolio, used for fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between compatible Cisco SFP+ host ports. It provides an SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cable connection at a 10-meter length, with Cisco-confirmed 10G Ethernet operation, red bail latch identification, 1W maximum power consumption, and a commercial operating temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees C for BOMs that require this exact AOC length and media type.

Application Scenarios
Deploy SFP-10G-AOC10M where two supported Cisco SFP+ ports need a fixed 10-meter active optical cable and the route is longer than the 5-meter or 7-meter AOC options after cable managers and service slack are included.
This SKU fits Cisco Catalyst projects that list SFP-10G-AOC10M as a supported cable for 10G uplinks. The platform, port type, and software support still need confirmation in Cisco compatibility documentation before purchase.
For Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects, SFP-10G-AOC10M appears in the supported SFP+ transceiver and cable table as the 10-meter 10GBASE-AOC option. That makes the exact length and AOC media type important during receiving checks.

- In a SFP-10G-AOC10M vs SFP-10G-AOC7M comparison, the confirmed difference is the fixed cable length: SFP-10G-AOC10M is the 10-meter AOC while SFP-10G-AOC7M is the 7-meter AOC.
- The SFP-10G-AOC10M difference from SFP-10G-AOC5M is also length and bail latch color, with Cisco listing the 5-meter AOC with a gray latch and the 10-meter AOC with a red latch.
- SFP-10G-AOC10M vs SFP-H10GB-ACU10M is a media-type comparison at the same 10-meter length: SFP-10G-AOC10M is active optical cable and SFP-H10GB-ACU10M is active twinax copper.
- For which model to choose, start from the required 10G SFP+ cable medium, then confirm fixed length and host support in Cisco compatibility documentation.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for a fixed 10-meter AOC path
Select SFP-10G-AOC10M when the bill of materials requires a Cisco 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ active optical cable and the measured route needs the 10-meter length.
2. Use shorter AOC models for shorter dressed routes
Order SFP-10G-AOC5M or SFP-10G-AOC7M only when the installed path fits those fixed lengths. This avoids leaving excess 10-meter cable in a dense SFP+ panel.
3. Keep copper active twinax separate
Use SFP-H10GB-ACU10M only when the design calls for the Cisco 10-meter active twinax copper cable. It should not replace SFP-10G-AOC10M in an AOC-specific bill of materials.
4. Confirm Cisco host support before purchase
Check the target switch, fabric interconnect, port type, and software release in Cisco compatibility documentation before adding SFP-10G-AOC10M to a quote.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Cable length |
Fixed 10-meter route with service slack |
Confirms the installed path can be dressed without changing cable family |
|
Cable medium |
10GBASE-AOC active optical cable assembly |
Keeps the order aligned with optical AOC cabling rather than twinax copper |
|
Host compatibility |
Cisco platform, port type, and software support in Cisco TMG documentation |
Verifies that the target hardware supports the exact cable SKU |
|
Power and temperature |
1W maximum power and commercial temperature class |
Helps confirm the target port and environment match the Cisco specification |
|
Receiving details |
Red bail latch and Cisco 10-meter AOC label |
Catches accidental replacement with 5-meter, 7-meter, or active copper cable SKUs |
