SFP-10G-AOC7M Description
SFP-10G-AOC7M is a Cisco 7 m 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ active optical cable assembly used to build short 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between supported Cisco SFP+ host ports. It provides an SFP+ to SFP+ active optical cable connection, uses a blue bail latch, has a maximum power consumption of 1W, and is specified for commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operation.

Application Scenarios
SFP-10G-AOC7M fits supported Cisco SFP+ links where the dressed route is too long for the 5-meter AOC but does not need a 10-meter cable. Use the fixed length for rack-to-rack or cabinet-row paths after cable managers and service slack are included.
Cisco release notes list SFP-10G-AOC7M in supported cable sets for C9200L Multigigabit Ethernet 10G uplinks and high-performance Catalyst 9500 models. Treat those as official support examples, then verify the exact switch PID, port type, and software support through Cisco compatibility documentation.
Cisco UCS 6300 Series hardware documentation includes SFP-10G-AOC7M in the supported SFP+ cable table. Receiving teams should keep the 7-meter AOC separate from active twinax copper and shorter AOC spares during fabric-interconnect staging.

- In a SFP-10G-AOC7M vs SFP-10G-AOC5M comparison, both are Cisco 10GBASE-AOC SFP+ cables, while the current SKU extends the fixed length from 5 meters to 7 meters.
- The SFP-10G-AOC7M difference from SFP-10G-AOC10M is the shorter documented cable length and blue latch, compared with the 10-meter red-latch AOC.
- SFP-10G-AOC7M vs SFP-H10GB-ACU7M is a media-family comparison at the same 7-meter length: SFP-10G-AOC7M is active optical cable and SFP-H10GB-ACU7M is active twinax copper.
- For which model to choose, match the required 10G SFP+ media first, then confirm the exact length and Cisco host support.
Selection Guide
1. Use it for a measured 7-meter AOC route
Choose SFP-10G-AOC7M when the bill of materials calls for Cisco 10GBASE-AOC cabling and the installed path needs the documented 7-meter length after rack dressing.
2. Move length variants only when the route changes
Select SFP-10G-AOC5M for a shorter AOC path or SFP-10G-AOC10M for a longer AOC path. Keep the cable family unchanged unless the design also changes the media requirement.
3. Do not substitute the same-length copper SKU
SFP-H10GB-ACU7M shares the 7-meter length and blue latch, but Cisco lists it as active twinax copper. Use it only for a copper twinax design, not for an AOC-specified order.
4. Check the host platform before shipment
Validate the target Cisco device, SFP+ port type, software release, and any adapter requirement in Cisco compatibility documentation before shipping SFP-10G-AOC7M.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Cable path |
Fixed 7-meter route after cable management and service slack |
Confirms the order uses the right AOC length without excess cable |
|
Media requirement |
10GBASE-AOC active optical cable assembly |
Separates optical AOC requirements from 7-meter active twinax copper |
|
Host support |
Cisco platform, SFP+ port type, and software support in Cisco TMG documentation |
Confirms the target port supports the exact cable SKU |
|
Power and environment |
1W maximum power and commercial 0 to 70 degrees C operation |
Keeps port planning and site conditions aligned with Cisco ratings |
