OSFP-800G-AOC-10MJuniper Networks OSFP-800G-AOC-10M Compatible 800G OSFP 8 x 100G PAM4 IHS/Finned Top Active Optical Cable, 10m (33ft)
The OSFP-800G-AOC-10M cable on this page is the 10m (33ft) version for Juniper Networks hosts requiring 800G operation. Its OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) to OSFP (IHS/Finned Top) AOC construction reduces the connection to one factory-terminated assembly. Related lengths, brand cross-references and rack-integration notes support a precise high-density deployment.

Juniper Deployment Reference
Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.
Signal and Lane Configuration
The listed modulation format is 8x 100G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.
Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is 14W Per End. 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 OSFP MSA, CMIS Rev 4.0, SFF-8679, IEEE 802.3bs. 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
Extended reach changes the installation checks for OSFP-800G-AOC-10M. Confirm that 10m (33ft) follows the intended route without tension, then verify that intermediate supports do not squeeze the jacket or hide the connectors behind adjacent cables. Both hosts must still match the stated interface and lane configuration. Within this family, OSFP-800G-AOC-7M is shorter at 7m (23ft), while OSFP-800G-AOC-15M is the next longer choice at 15m (49ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.
Position Within the Length Range
OSFP-800G-AOC-10M occupies the middle of this family between OSFP-800G-AOC-7M at 7m (23ft) and OSFP-800G-AOC-15M at 15m (49ft). It adds 3m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
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 14W Per End; 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. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
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. This page’s fixed configuration is 10m (33ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.
Juniper Networks 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. The check includes receive activity and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Juniper Networks cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Juniper Networks OSFP-800G-AOC-10M.
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.
