Overview

40G QSFP+ to 4×SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance interconnect solution designed to enable seamless 40G connectivity by breaking out into four independent 10G SFP+ channels. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-performance computing environments, this AOC leverages advanced optical technology to deliver reliable, low-latency transmission over distances up to 100 meters. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing complexity and cost while ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with mainstream 40G QSFP+ and 10G SFP+ ports.

The cable features a flexible, lightweight design with superior EMI immunity compared to copper alternatives, making it perfect for dense installations. Its low power consumption and high durability support energy-efficient, long-term operation in demanding applications such as cloud computing, storage area networks, and server clustering. Backed by robust quality assurance, this AOC offers a future-proof, cost-effective upgrade path for modern high-speed networks.
