Support of Active Optical Cables

[Emakvor]

Hi All,

We plan to connect C7000 VC and DL360 G10 servers to Cisco Catalyst 9500 switches with Active Optical Cables Cisco SFP-10G-AOC10M. 

Does HPE HW support such kind of cables?

Thanks,

Maksim

Hello Maksim,

If you are looking to use compatible cables, you can always refer to our product quickspecs document which has list of cables which HPE has tested.

For example, if you check HPE Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb/24-Port Module quickspecs

https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04154400.pdf

Page 14, here you can see list of cables we have tested which work on this product. 

You can do the same to DL servers. If there is any particular network card/HBA, you can refer to that quickspecs and you will find list of supported cables. 

Thanks,

Roshan
