Add-On ADD-QCIQIN-AOC50M 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable

Overview

The Addon ADD-QCIQIN-AOC50M is a 50-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) connections. It provides a direct, plug-and-play solution for linking network devices like switches, servers, and storage systems over medium distances without the need for transceivers. This cable is engineered for environments requiring high-bandwidth, low-latency data transfer, such as data centers or enterprise network backbones. Its active nature means the signal conditioning is built into the cable assembly, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure compared to passive copper alternatives.

Compatibility

This QSFP+ AOC is designed to be compatible with Cisco 40GBASE-AOC standards and is also tested for interoperability with Intel network equipment. It functions as a direct replacement for equivalent Cisco part numbers, ensuring seamless integration into existing Cisco-based network infrastructure. It supports standard QSFP+ ports found on a wide range of enterprise-grade switches and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

The ADD-QCIQIN-AOC50M requires no configuration; simply plug the QSFP+ connectors into the corresponding ports on your network devices. Ensure the ports are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments and should not be subjected to excessive bending or physical stress beyond its specified bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
