Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at an 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber, optimized for short-reach applications within data centers. The QSFP+ connectors on both ends ensure a secure, hot-pluggable connection that supports high-bandwidth traffic without signal degradation over its 5-meter length.
The cable's AOC technology converts electrical signals to optical and back, providing immunity to electromagnetic interference and reducing cable weight compared to copper alternatives. With a data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s, it meets the demands of modern network infrastructures requiring fast, stable links for server clusters, storage arrays, and switch interconnects.
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.

Deployment / Use Cases
This active optical cable is ideal for data center environments where high-speed, short-reach connections are essential. It connects switches, routers, servers, and storage devices within racks or across adjacent racks, supporting 40GbE uplinks and backbone links.
Common use cases include linking top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches, connecting high-performance computing nodes, and enabling fast interconnects in virtualization clusters. Its multimode fiber and 5-meter length make it suitable for in-rack or cross-rack applications where copper cables might face interference or weight limitations.
Data Center Interconnects
Use for 40GbE links between network switches and servers, providing a clean, high-bandwidth pathway for data-intensive tasks like database replication or virtual machine migration.
High-Performance Networking
Deploy in environments requiring low-latency, such as financial trading platforms or media rendering farms, where rapid data transfer is critical to operational efficiency.
Physical Profile
The cable has a length of 5 meters (16.4 feet) and weighs approximately 1.20 lb (544.31 g), making it lightweight and manageable for routing in tight spaces. The QSFP+ connectors are durable and designed for repeated insertions, with a slim profile that fits standard port densities. This physical design supports easy installation in crowded network cabinets without adding excessive bulk.
