Add-On FCBN410QB1C20-AO 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On FCBN410QB1C20-AO is a TAA-compliant, 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ direct attach cable designed for high-density, short-reach network connections. It provides a cost-effective, low-power alternative to fiber transceivers and patch cords for switch-to-switch, switch-to-router, or switch-to-server links within a rack or between adjacent racks. This cable simplifies network deployments by integrating the cable and transceiver into a single unit.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered as a compatible replacement for Finisar FCBN410QB1C20 modules. It is designed to connect to any network switch, server, or network interface card (NIC) equipped with standard QSFP+ ports, supporting 40Gbps Ethernet connectivity. Verify compatibility with your specific network hardware manufacturer's documentation if direct compatibility is critical.

Installation Notes

The QSFP+ connectors simply plug into the corresponding QSFP+ ports on your network equipment. Ensure the port is clean and free of debris before insertion. The AOC (Active Optical Cable) design means no separate power supply or configuration is required; it functions as a plug-and-play component. The cable is designed for short-reach applications, typically up to 20 meters, making it ideal for within-rack or adjacent-rack connectivity.
