Product Features
Technical Overview
This active optical cable operates at 40 Gbit/s using 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber, supporting distances up to 3 meters. The QSFP+ end features a single high-density connector that breaks out to four individual SFP+ connectors, each capable of 10 Gbit/s links.
AOC technology ensures signal integrity by embedding the optical-electrical conversion within the cable ends, reducing power consumption and heat compared to traditional transceiver-based solutions. The cable is hot-pluggable and designed for use with standard network devices supporting QSFP+ and SFP+ interfaces.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Fiber Optic Mode, Cable Length, Country of Origin, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

- Lifetime warranty
- AOC technology
- Low power consumption
Deployment / Use Cases
Ideal for connecting top-of-rack switches to servers or storage arrays in data centers, this cable enables 40GbE uplinks while providing breakout capability to multiple 10GbE devices. It's particularly useful in high-performance computing environments where low latency and high bandwidth are essential.
Common applications include aggregating multiple SFP+ ports from servers or storage into a single QSFP+ switch port, simplifying cable management in dense server racks. The multimode fiber construction makes it suitable for short-reach connections within server rooms or between adjacent racks.
Data Center Aggregation
Connect a 40GbE QSFP+ switch port to four 10GbE SFP+ server ports, consolidating uplinks and reducing port utilization on core switches.
High-Density Server Connectivity
Deploy in blade server enclosures or hyper-converged infrastructure where space is limited and thermal management is crucial.

FAQ
What is the difference between this AOC and a traditional transceiver-based connection?
This active optical cable integrates the optical transceivers directly into the cable ends, eliminating separate pluggable modules. This reduces points of failure, lowers power consumption, and simplifies installation compared to using discrete transceivers with separate fiber patch cables.
What network devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is designed as a compatible replacement for IBM 00YL670 and works with any network device supporting standard QSFP+ and SFP+ interfaces. It's particularly suited for data center switches, servers, and storage arrays that require 40GbE connectivity with breakout to multiple 10GbE ports.
What does TAA compliant mean for this product?
TAA compliance indicates this cable meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. government procurement. This means it's manufactured in the United States or a designated country, making it eligible for federal contracts and many enterprise purchasing agreements that require TAA-compliant products.
What is the maximum distance this cable can support?
This cable supports distances up to 3 meters (9.8 feet) using 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber. This reach is ideal for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections in data center environments where short-range, high-bandwidth links are needed.
Does this cable require special configuration or management?
No special configuration is needed. The cable appears as a standard QSFP+ to 4xSFP+ breakout connection to connected devices. It's hot-pluggable and doesn't require DOM/DDM monitoring configuration since it's an active cable with embedded electronics handling the optical conversion transparently.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
This cable comes with a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This provides long-term assurance for critical infrastructure deployments where cable reliability directly impacts network availability.
