Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable features a QSFP+ connector on one end and a breakout configuration of four SFP+ connectors on the other end, allowing a single high-density port to connect to multiple lower-density ports. The 40 Gbit/s throughput ensures efficient data flow for demanding applications such as virtualization, storage area networks, and high-performance computing.
Active Optical Technology integrates optical transceivers directly into the cable assembly, eliminating the need for separate optical modules and simplifying deployment. This design reduces power consumption and heat generation while maintaining signal integrity over the full 32.8-foot length.
Key Product Advantages
This AOC cable offers several advantages for network infrastructure, including simplified cabling, high reliability, and future-proof performance. The integrated active optics ensure consistent signal quality without the degradation common in passive copper cables over distance.
High-Density Connectivity
The QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout configuration maximizes port utilization, allowing one 40 Gbit/s port to serve four 10 Gbit/s connections efficiently.
- Consolidates cabling
- Reduces port clutter
- Optimizes rack space
Active Optical Benefits
Active Optical Technology provides lower latency, reduced weight, and improved flexibility compared to copper alternatives, with better resistance to EMI and crosstalk.
- Longer reach potential
- Lower power draw
- Enhanced signal integrity
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, and servers in data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing clusters. Its 40 Gbit/s capability supports bandwidth-intensive tasks like data replication, video streaming, and large-scale database operations.
Common deployment scenarios include linking top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches, connecting storage arrays to servers, and establishing high-speed links between networking devices in distributed environments. The breakout configuration is particularly useful for migrating from 10 Gbit/s to 40 Gbit/s infrastructure without replacing all existing equipment.
Data Center Interconnects
Use this AOC to create reliable, high-speed connections between switches and servers within a rack or across adjacent racks, supporting virtualization and cloud workloads.
Network Upgrades
Deploy this cable to upgrade network segments to 40 Gbit/s while maintaining compatibility with existing 10 Gbit/s SFP+ devices through the breakout configuration.
