Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable delivers a consistent 40 Gbit/s data transfer rate using QSFP+ connectors on both ends, ensuring full-duplex performance for demanding network environments. The embedded AOC technology integrates electrical-to-optical conversion within the cable assembly, providing signal integrity and low power consumption compared to traditional copper alternatives.
The cable features a 1-meter (3.3-foot) length with multimode fiber optimized for 850nm transmission, making it ideal for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections in data centers. It supports standard network devices and is designed for hot-pluggable operation, allowing for easy installation and maintenance without network downtime.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Fiber Optic Mode, Cable Length, Weight (Approximate), so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This AOC combines performance, reliability, and compliance in a single integrated solution. Its active optical design ensures superior signal quality over fiber, reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk common in copper cables.
Simplified Deployment
The pre-terminated QSFP+ connectors and embedded fiber eliminate the need for separate transceivers and patch cables, reducing installation time and complexity.
- No separate transceivers required
- Pre-terminated for plug-and-play use
- Reduces cable management overhead
High-Speed Connectivity
With a 40 Gbit/s data rate, this cable supports bandwidth-intensive applications such as server clustering, storage area networks, and high-performance computing.
- 40 Gbit/s throughput
- Low-latency performance
- Ideal for data center interconnects
Deployment / Use Cases
This active optical cable is engineered for environments where high-speed, reliable short-reach connections are critical. Its compact form factor and lightweight design make it suitable for dense network configurations without sacrificing performance.
Common use cases include connecting top-of-rack switches to servers in data centers, linking network appliances within a rack, and supporting high-bandwidth applications in enterprise networking. The TAA compliance also makes it a viable option for federal, state, and local government projects requiring compliant hardware.
Data Center Interconnects
Use for spine-leaf architectures, connecting switches to servers, or within high-performance computing clusters where 40 Gbit/s speeds are essential.
Enterprise Networking
Ideal for backbone connections in medium to large enterprises, supporting virtualization, cloud access, and storage networks with low latency and high reliability.
Physical Profile
The cable measures 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length, providing flexibility for short-range connections without excess cable bulk. Weighing approximately 3.20 ounces (90.72 grams), it is lightweight and easy to route in tight spaces, contributing to improved airflow and cooling in rack environments. The durable construction ensures long-term reliability in continuous operation.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the data transfer speed of this active optical cable?
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s, providing high-bandwidth connectivity for demanding network applications such as data center interconnects, server clustering, and storage networks. The QSFP+ interface ensures full-duplex performance at this speed.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
Both ends of the cable feature QSFP+ network connectors, with one QSFP+ connector per end. This design ensures compatibility with QSFP+ ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards, supporting hot-pluggable installation.
Is this cable compatible with multimode or singlemode fiber?
This cable uses multimode fiber (MMF) optimized for 850nm wavelength transmission. It is designed for short-reach applications typically within data centers or enterprise racks, where multimode fiber provides cost-effective high-speed connectivity over distances up to 1 meter.
What does TAA compliance mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates that this cable meets U.S. government procurement requirements, ensuring it is manufactured or substantially transformed in the United States or a designated country. This makes it suitable for federal, state, and local government contracts.
How does an active optical cable (AOC) differ from a direct attach copper cable (DAC)?
An AOC like this one integrates fiber optic cabling with embedded optical transceivers, converting electrical signals to optical and back, which reduces electromagnetic interference and supports longer reaches at high speeds with lower power consumption. In contrast, a DAC uses copper cables and is generally limited to shorter distances with higher power draw and potential interference.
What is the warranty coverage for this cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, providing long-term assurance against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the durability and reliability of the product for continuous use in network environments.
