SFP-10G-AOC2M Description
SFP-10G-AOC2M is a Cisco 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ active optical cable assembly for short 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between supported SFP+ ports. It provides a 2 m SFP+ to SFP+ active optical connection with brown bail latches, 1W maximum power consumption, and commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operating temperature, making it a compact Cisco cable option for switch, server, or fabric-interconnect BOMs that require an official Cisco 10G active optical cable rather than separate optical transceivers and fiber jumpers.

Application Scenarios
Use SFP-10G-AOC2M when two supported Cisco SFP+ ports need a fixed 2-meter 10G active optical cable after patch-panel position, bend control, and service slack are accounted for.
Cisco release notes list SFP-10G-AOC2M among supported active optical cable product numbers for C9200L Multigigabit Ethernet models with 10G uplinks and for high-performance Catalyst 9500 models. Confirm the exact platform, port role, and software support in Cisco compatibility documentation before purchase.
The Cisco UCS 6300 hardware guide lists SFP-10G-AOC2M in its supported SFP+ cable table. For UCS 6332 QSFP+ ports, the same guide requires the CVR-QSFP-SFP10G QSA module when 10G SFP+ cables operate in a 40G QSFP+ port.

- In a SFP-10G-AOC2M vs SFP-10G-AOC1M comparison, the table-confirmed difference is fixed AOC length: 2 meters for SFP-10G-AOC2M and 1 meter for SFP-10G-AOC1M.
- SFP-10G-AOC2M vs SFP-10G-AOC3M is another same-family length comparison, with the current SKU using a brown bail latch at 2 meters and SFP-10G-AOC3M using an orange bail latch at 3 meters.
- The SFP-10G-AOC2M difference from SFP-H10GB-CU2M is media type at the same 2-meter length: active optical cable for SFP-10G-AOC2M and passive twinax copper for SFP-H10GB-CU2M.
- For which model to choose, confirm the required 10G SFP+ cable medium first, then match the fixed length and Cisco host-support entry.
Selection Guide
1. Use it for a measured 2-meter active optical path
Select SFP-10G-AOC2M when the installed Cisco SFP+ route needs a 2-meter fixed AOC and the design does not call for copper twinax cabling.
2. Shorten or lengthen only within the AOC family
Choose SFP-10G-AOC1M or SFP-10G-AOC3M only when the same 10GBASE-AOC cable family is required but the measured route fits those documented lengths better.
3. Do not substitute passive copper by length alone
SFP-H10GB-CU2M matches the 2-meter length but changes the order to passive twinax copper, so keep it separate from active optical BOM lines.
4. Tie host support to the exact port
Check Cisco compatibility documentation for the switch or fabric interconnect model, SFP+ port type, and software release before adding SFP-10G-AOC2M to the purchase list.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Fixed length |
2-meter route after cable managers and service slack |
Avoids ordering a cable that is too short or leaves avoidable excess |
|
Cable medium |
10GBASE-AOC active optical cable assembly |
Keeps the BOM separate from the SFP-H10GB-CU2M passive copper SKU |
|
Host compatibility |
Cisco platform, SFP+ port, and software support in official compatibility documentation |
Confirms the target hardware supports the exact cable SKU |
|
Power and environment |
1W maximum power and commercial 0 to 70 degrees C class |
Keeps the link within Cisco power and temperature limits |
