The StarTech QSFP40GAO10M is a 10-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed data center and network interconnects. It provides a 40 Gbps connection between QSFP+ ports, offering a power-efficient alternative to traditional copper cabling for longer runs. This cable is ideal for connecting switches, servers, or storage devices within racks or between adjacent racks where signal integrity at high bandwidth is critical. The QSFP40GAO10M is MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) un-coded, meaning it's compatible with a wide range of network equipment that adheres to the QSFP+ standard.
This QSFP+ AOC cable is designed for universal compatibility with any network device featuring QSFP+ ports that adheres to the MSA standard. This includes a broad spectrum of enterprise-grade switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and servers from various manufacturers. Its un-coded nature ensures it functions without proprietary vendor lock-in, making it suitable for mixed-vendor environments. For specific compatibility questions, consult your network equipment's documentation regarding QSFP+ port requirements.
The QSFP40GAO10M operates within a 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature range. Each end of the cable consumes less than 1.5W, drawing 3.3V DC, which simplifies power planning for dense deployments. The cable jacket is constructed from PVC for flexibility and durability. Ensure the QSFP+ ports on your equipment are clean before insertion to guarantee a secure connection and optimal performance.
