Description
Cable Length and Distance Support
The Cisco SFP-10G-AOC3M= is a 3-meter long active optical cable (AOC) designed for use in high-speed networking environments. It is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet cable that uses a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector at both ends to connect two devices with SFP+ ports.
The SFP-10G-AOC3M= can transmit data over a distance of up to 3 meters (approximately 9.8 feet). This cable is designed for use in short-range applications such as within a data center or between adjacent racks.
It is important to note that the maximum distance supported by any fiber optic cable depends on several factors, including the type of cable, the wavelength of light used to transmit data, and the quality of the fiber itself. Therefore, it is always best to consult the manufacturer’s specifications to ensure that a particular cable is suitable for your specific application.
Flexibility and Ease of Installation
The SFP-10G-AOC3M= is a 3-meter Cisco Active Optical Cable (AOC) with SFP+ connectors on both ends. This cable is designed to provide a high-speed, low-latency, and low-power interconnect solution for various data center applications.
One of the main advantages of the SFP-10G-AOC3M= cable is its flexibility. AOCs are generally more flexible than traditional copper or fiber optic cables, which can be stiff and difficult to bend around corners or fit into tight spaces. The SFP-10G-AOC3M= cable is also very lightweight, making it easy to install and maneuver.
Another advantage of the SFP-10G-AOC3M= cable is its ease of installation. The cable comes with SFP+ connectors pre-attached to each end, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and reducing the time and effort required to install and configure the cable. The cable can be plugged directly into SFP+ ports on compatible switches or routers, making it a simple “plug-and-play” solution.
Additionally, the SFP-10G-AOC3M= cable supports hot-plugging, which means that it can be inserted or removed from a live system without causing any disruption or downtime. This feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without having to shut down the entire network.
Quality and Reliability
The SFP-10G-AOC3M= Cisco 3M Fiber Optic Network Cable is designed to provide high quality and reliable performance in data center applications.
One of the key features that contributes to the quality and reliability of this cable is its use of active optical technology. Unlike passive optical cables, which rely solely on the properties of light to transmit data, active optical cables use active components such as laser drivers and amplifiers to boost the signal and improve performance. This technology helps to minimize signal loss and maintain signal integrity over longer distances, ensuring high quality data transmission.
The SFP-10G-AOC3M= cable is also designed to comply with industry standards and specifications, including the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and the 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) standard. This ensures interoperability with other compliant devices and helps to ensure reliable and consistent performance.
In addition, the SFP-10G-AOC3M= cable undergoes rigorous testing and quality control processes to ensure that it meets Cisco’s high standards for quality and reliability. These processes include individual component testing, assembly testing, and environmental testing, such as temperature and humidity tests, to ensure that the cable can withstand a wide range of operating conditions.
