10G-SFPP-AOC-0101Brocade 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 Compatible 10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)
For densely populated equipment, the fixed 1m (3ft) version of Brocade 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 offers a clearly defined 10G link without separate optical modules or patch cords. The AOC assembly uses SFP+ to SFP+; its power, mechanical and diagnostic details are listed where supplied so port density and cable management can be assessed together.

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.
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.
High-Density Rack Integration
In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the stated power consumption is <0.8W; the jacket material is OFNP.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
Ordering Information
Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. Keep 10G-SFPP-AOC-0101 associated with 1m (3ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing
The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Where supported by the host, receive activity and diagnostic indications are reviewed together with the established link.
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.
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.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
What details assist a compatibility review?
Provide the equipment manufacturer, model, port type, hardware revision and software release, together with the OEM reference, required length and quantity.
Shipping and Lead Time
Available stock is normally prepared for dispatch within one to three working days, while larger production requirements are scheduled with the order. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.
