10Gbase-AOC SFP+ Active Optical Cable

The Axiom 470-ABLT-AX is a 16.4 ft active optical cable built for 10 GbE SFP+ links. It connects two SFP+ ports directly without a separate transceiver module. The fiber construction keeps the link lightweight and immune to electromagnetic interference. Designed for the Dell Force10 Z9500, it suits new deployments needing a 5 m reach.

Who This Suits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Network engineers wiring a Dell Force10 Z9500 at 10 GbE over 16.4 ft will find this cable a direct fit. Buyers who need a longer reach, a different connector type, or a passive copper alternative should look at other options. The active optical design targets this specific distance and switch compatibility.

16.4 ft Reach for Dell Force10 Z9500

The 16.4 ft length is the single specification that decides fit. It matches a 5 m run between SFP+ ports on the target switch. If the link is shorter or longer, or the switch model differs, this part will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 10Gbase-AOC link is active after connecting the SFP+ ends to my Dell Force10 Z9500?

Check the switch port LEDs for a solid link light and run a 10 Gb/s traffic test to confirm the active optical cable is passing data at full rate.

What comes with the 470-ABLT-AX cable and what must I source separately?

The 16.4 ft active fiber optic cable with SFP+ connectors on both ends is supplied; compatible Dell Force10 Z9500 SFP+ ports are required on each side.

Which length should I choose for a rack-to-rack run between two Dell Force10 Z9500 switches?

The 16.4 ft (5 m) AOC suits typical adjacent-rack connections; select a longer AOC only if the measured cable path exceeds this distance.
