Add-On QSFP-H40G-AOC2M-AO 2M QSFP+ AOC Cable
Overview
The Add-On QSFP-H40G-AOC2M-AO is a 2-meter, TAA-compliant QSFP+ to QSFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable. It provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-reach 40Gbps network interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. This cable is designed for high-density data center environments where reliable, high-speed links are critical for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connectivity.
Compatibility
This cable is designed to be compatible with Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC2M equipment. It functions as a plug-and-play solution for 40GbE interfaces requiring a QSFP+ connector. It is suitable for use in network infrastructure that demands TAA compliance, such as government or certain enterprise deployments. Specific compatibility extends to any network device utilizing standard QSFP+ ports for 40GBASE-AOC connections.
Installation Notes
The QSFP-H40G-AOC2M-AO requires no configuration. Simply plug the QSFP+ connectors into the corresponding ports on your network devices. Ensure the port is clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable's passive nature means it draws minimal power and generates little heat, simplifying thermal management within dense equipment racks.
