FAQ
What is the data transfer rate of this active optical cable?
This cable supports a data transfer rate of 40 Gbit/s. It uses QSFP+ on one end and breaks out to four SFP+ connectors on the other end, enabling high-speed connections for network switches, servers, and storage devices in data center environments.
What is the cable length and type?
The cable is 15 meters long (49.2 feet) and is an active optical cable (AOC). It uses multimode fiber with 850nm wavelength optics, integrating transceivers directly into the cable assembly for reliable signal transmission over this distance.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant and manufactured in the United States. This makes it suitable for U.S. government, public sector, and regulated industry deployments where compliance with the Trade Agreements Act is required for procurement.
What connectors does this cable use?
The cable has a QSFP+ connector on one end and four SFP+ connectors on the other end. This breakout configuration allows a single 40GbE QSFP+ port to connect to four 10GbE SFP+ ports, providing flexible connectivity for network equipment.
What is AOC technology and its benefits?
AOC (Active Optical Cable) technology integrates optical transceivers into the cable ends, using fiber optics for data transmission. Benefits include lower power consumption and heat generation compared to separate transceiver modules, improved signal integrity over longer distances, and simplified deployment with fewer components.
What warranty does this cable come with?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This long-term coverage provides assurance of durability and reliability for continuous operation in enterprise and data center networking applications, supporting investment protection.
