Description

Black Box QSFP-H40G-AOC15M-BB 15m Active Optical Cable

Overview

The Black Box QSFP-H40G-AOC15M-BB is a 15-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed for high-speed 40Gbps data transmission. This cable facilitates direct connections between switches, servers, and other network devices that utilize QSFP+ ports, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic patch cords. Its integrated design simplifies deployment in data centers and high-performance computing environments where bandwidth and reliability are critical. The 15-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connectivity.

Compatibility

This QSFP+ AOC is engineered for direct connection with any network device featuring standard QSFP+ ports. It is compatible with switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards (NICs) from major manufacturers that support 40GBASE-SR4 or equivalent QSFP+ interfaces. The active optical nature ensures signal integrity over its 15-meter reach, making it suitable for environments requiring robust, high-speed interconnects without signal degradation.

Installation Notes

Installation is plug-and-play. Ensure the QSFP+ ports on your network devices are clean before insertion. The cable's integrated design means no separate transceivers or fiber connectors are required. The cable is color-coded black for easy identification within a network infrastructure.
