Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at a consistent 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like server clustering, storage area networks, and high-performance computing. The cable uses SFP+ connectors on both ends, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Dell EMC and other vendor equipment that supports the SFP+ form factor.
Unlike passive copper cables, active optical cables incorporate signal conditioning electronics that maintain signal quality over longer distances without degradation. This makes them ideal for environments where electromagnetic interference could affect copper alternatives.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What devices is this active optical cable compatible with?
This cable is specifically compatible with Dell EMC switches like the Z9100 series and works with any network device, server, router, or switch that supports SFP+ interfaces. The industry-standard SFP+ connectors ensure broad compatibility across different manufacturers' equipment that uses the SFP+ form factor for 10GbE connectivity.
What is the difference between active and passive optical cables?
Active optical cables like this StarTech.com model incorporate signal conditioning electronics that maintain signal integrity over the cable's entire length. Passive cables rely solely on the optical fiber without electronic components. Active cables typically offer better performance over longer distances and in environments with electromagnetic interference, making them more reliable for critical network connections.
What is the purpose of the locking latch on the SFP+ connectors?
The locking latch mechanism provides a secure connection that prevents the cable from accidentally disconnecting due to vibration, cable movement, or accidental pulls. This is particularly important in data center environments where equipment may be subject to vibration from cooling systems or during maintenance activities, ensuring uninterrupted network connectivity.
What environmental standards does this cable comply with?
This cable complies with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) standards. These compliances ensure the cable meets international environmental regulations regarding hazardous materials and end-of-life disposal, making it suitable for organizations with green procurement policies.
What is the warranty coverage for this active optical cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this active optical cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the lifetime of the product, offering long-term reliability assurance for your network infrastructure investments and reducing total cost of ownership through extended product support.
Why is this cable colored green aqua?
The green aqua PVC jacket serves both functional and organizational purposes. The color provides durability and protection for the internal optical fibers while also offering visual identification in complex cable management systems. This makes it easier for network administrators to identify and trace specific cables during installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting in dense rack environments.
