Description

Add-On QSFP-H40G-AOC25M-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ Active Optical Cable

Overview

The Addon QSFP-H40G-AOC25M-AO is a 25-meter, 40Gbps QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise networking and data center environments. This TAA-compliant cable ensures compliance for government and specific commercial deployments, providing a reliable, direct-attach solution for connecting network devices over short to medium distances without the need for transceivers. Its integrated design simplifies installation and reduces potential points of failure compared to traditional fiber optic assemblies.

Compatibility

This QSFP+ AOC cable is engineered to be compatible with any networking equipment featuring standard QSFP+ ports, including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards from major manufacturers. It is specifically designed to work with Cisco equipment, ensuring seamless integration into existing Cisco infrastructures. The QSFP+ form factor supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) and other high-speed protocols.

Installation Notes

The QSFP-H40G-AOC25M-AO features a plug-and-play design. Ensure the QSFP+ ports on both connected devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for direct attachment, meaning no separate fiber optic transceivers or patch cords are required. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage. The AOC construction offers greater flexibility and lighter weight than traditional copper DAC cables over similar distances.
