What this cable connects

The Axiom 470-ABLZ-AX is an active optical direct-attach cable built for 10Gbase links. It uses SFP+ connectors on both ends and ships in new condition. The 10 ft length suits rack-to-rack or cross-row runs in a Dell Force10 Z9500 environment.

The compatibility gate

This assembly is qualified for the Dell Force10 Z9500 platform. If your switch or server does not accept SFP+ active optical modules coded for that system, the link will not come up. Verify the vendor code requirement before you order.

Reach and headroom

At 10 ft the cable covers typical intra-rack and adjacent-rack distances with margin for cable management. Runs longer than the supplied length will need a different assembly or a patch-panel solution. The active optical design supports the rated 10G throughput across the full 10 ft span.

The cable delivers a 10 Gbps active optical link between two SFP+ ports on the Dell Force10 Z9500, supporting the switch's 10Gbase-AOC specification over the full length.

Which interface standard does the SFP+ connector follow and what distance does it cover?

The SFP+ connectors comply with the 10Gbase-AOC active optical standard and span the full 10 ft length without signal regeneration.

What physical space and port type are required to plug this cable into the switch?

Each end needs an SFP+ transceiver slot on the Dell Force10 Z9500; the cable occupies two adjacent ports and requires no extra power or mounting hardware.
