Axiom 470-ABMD-AX Active Optical Cable

The Axiom 470-ABMD-AX is a 49 foot active optical cable built for 10Gbase connections. It uses SFP+ connectors on both ends for direct attach linking. The design targets installers who need a single cable run between compatible Dell Force10 Z9500 equipment.

Thermals Noise And Power Draw

Active optical cables draw a small amount of power from the host port to run the onboard transceivers. Heat output is minimal and the cable runs silently because it has no moving parts. Normal use adds negligible load to the switch power budget.

Build Quality And Mounting Implications

The fiber optic construction makes the cable thinner and lighter than copper alternatives of the same length. This eases routing through tight conduit or crowded racks. SFP+ ends lock into the ports, so the link stays secure during vibration or cable management adjustments.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 470-ABMD-AX active optical cable and what step is often missed?

Insert each SFP+ end into a compatible port until it clicks; the step often missed is removing the protective dust caps from both transceiver lenses before insertion.

What maintenance or replacement will the 470-ABMD-AX cable need over time?

The active optical cable has no user-serviceable parts; if signal loss occurs after extended use, replace the entire 49 ft assembly rather than attempting field repair.

What limit appears first on the 470-ABMD-AX during sustained 10 Gbps traffic?

The 15 m active optical design maintains 10 Gbps across the full 49 ft length, so the practical limit is the SFP+ port density of the connected switch, not cable reach.
