Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 40 Gbit/s data transfer rates using 850nm VCSEL technology over OM3/OM4 grade multimode fiber. The QSFP+ connectors on both ends provide a hot-pluggable interface that supports industry-standard electrical and optical specifications for 40GbE applications. The integrated electronics handle signal conditioning, reducing the bit error rate compared to passive copper alternatives.
The 25-meter reach accommodates typical rack-to-rack and intra-data center distances without requiring signal regeneration. The cable's construction includes reinforced strain relief and bend-insensitive fiber to maintain performance in dense cable management environments. Active optical technology enables lower power consumption and reduced electromagnetic interference compared to direct attach copper cables at similar lengths.
Key Product Advantages
This AOC delivers several operational benefits for network infrastructure deployments. The integrated design simplifies installation by combining transceiver and cable into a single component, reducing points of failure and inventory complexity. Active optical technology provides consistent signal quality across the entire cable length without the distance limitations of passive copper solutions.
Simplified Deployment
Pre-terminated QSFP+ connectors eliminate field termination requirements and ensure optical performance specifications are maintained from factory to installation.
- No separate transceivers needed
- Plug-and-play connectivity
- Reduced installation time
Reliable Performance
Built-in signal conditioning electronics maintain signal integrity over the full 25-meter distance, supporting error-free data transmission in demanding network environments.
- Lower bit error rates
- Consistent signal quality
- Reduced electromagnetic interference
Deployment / Use Cases
This 40GBase-AOC cable is designed for data center and enterprise network applications requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency connections between network devices. The 25-meter reach makes it ideal for connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches within the same rack row or adjacent cabinets.
Common deployment scenarios include 40GbE spine-leaf network architectures, high-performance computing clusters, storage area network interconnects, and virtualization host connectivity. The cable's TAA compliance ensures it meets regulatory requirements for government and educational institution purchases where Trade Agreements Act compliance is mandatory.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of connector does this cable use?
This cable uses QSFP+ network connectors on both ends. The QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interface is a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver standard commonly used for 40GbE network connections in data center and enterprise environments.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
The cable supports a data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s (40GbE). This bandwidth is sufficient for high-speed network applications including data center interconnects, storage networking, and high-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency communication.
How long is the cable and what type of fiber does it use?
The cable is 25 meters (82 feet) long and uses multimode fiber with an 850nm wavelength. This length accommodates typical rack-to-rack distances in data center environments while the multimode fiber supports short to medium reach applications with standard OM3/OM4 fiber specifications.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance indicates this product meets the requirements for purchase by U.S. federal government agencies and institutions that must comply with trade agreement regulations. The cable is manufactured in the United States, satisfying country-of-origin requirements for these procurement scenarios.
What is the difference between AOC and DAC cables?
AOC (Active Optical Cable) uses fiber optic strands with integrated active electronics for signal conditioning, while DAC (Direct Attach Copper) uses passive copper conductors. AOCs typically support longer distances with lower weight and reduced electromagnetic interference, making them suitable for moderate-length 40GbE connections where signal integrity is critical.
What warranty coverage does this cable include?
This cable includes a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer. This warranty coverage provides long-term assurance of product reliability and performance for network infrastructure investments, supporting the cable's use in mission-critical data center and enterprise environments.
