Description

HPE R8M48A 400GbE QSFP-DD/QSFP-DD 15M AOC

Overview

The HPE R8M48A is a 15-meter Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-density, high-speed data center interconnects. It provides a direct, plug-and-play solution for connecting devices equipped with QSFP-DD ports, enabling 400 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) communication without requiring separate transceivers. This cable is ideal for server-to-server, server-to-switch, and switch-to-switch connections within racks or between adjacent racks where a reliable, pre-terminated optical link is required.

Compatibility

This AOC is engineered to interface with any equipment featuring QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Double Density) ports. It is compatible with HPE ProLiant servers, HPE FlexFabric switches, and other network infrastructure devices that support the QSFP-DD form factor for 400GbE connectivity. Ensure your network devices explicitly list QSFP-DD port compatibility for 400GbE operation.

Installation Notes

The HPE R8M48A AOC is a passive, plug-and-play solution. Simply insert the QSFP-DD connectors into the corresponding ports on your network devices. The cable is factory-terminated and tested, requiring no field configuration or splicing. Ensure the ambient temperature remains within the operating range specified by the connected equipment to maintain signal integrity and cable longevity.
