Key Features

  • 40GbE direct attach active optical cable
  • QSFP+ to QSFP+ connectivity
  • 10 m cable length
  • Designed for high-speed short-run interconnects
  • Improves cable management in dense racks
  • Supports cleaner airflow than bulky copper cabling
  • Extend 40GbE connectivity using QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical design
  • Reduce rack congestion with a lighter cable path than bulky copper
Keep 40GbE links clean and predictable with this QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cable, 10 m. Built for short-run high-speed interconnects, it gives infrastructure teams a practical way to connect equipment without the stiffness and congestion of heavier copper assemblies. In dense racks, cable choice affects more than aesthetics. It affects airflow, serviceability, and how quickly technicians can trace and replace links. An active optical cable is well suited to environments where you want a lighter, more manageable path between compatible QSFP+ ports while maintaining the bandwidth profile expected of 40GbE infrastructure. The 10 m length gives you room to route across racks or between adjacent cabinets without forcing tight bends or awkward strain on ports. That makes it a strong fit for switch uplinks, storage connectivity, and server aggregation where clean cable management matters. For teams standardizing on high-speed optical interconnects, this cable supports a more disciplined physical layer and a cleaner operational footprint than lower-grade alternatives.

Ideal For

  • Switch-to-switch uplinks in data center racks
  • Switch-to-server 40GbE connections
  • Storage and fabric interconnects across adjacent cabinets
  • High-density network refresh projects

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this cable used for?▾

It is used to connect compatible QSFP+ ports for 40GbE links in enterprise network and data center environments.

Why choose an active optical cable instead of copper?▾

An active optical cable is typically lighter and easier to route, which helps reduce congestion and improve airflow in dense racks.

Is 10 m enough for rack-to-rack connections?▾

Yes, 10 m is suitable for many short-to-mid distance interconnects between adjacent racks or cabinets, depending on layout.

What ports does it support?▾

It uses QSFP+ connectors on both ends, so it is intended for equipment with compatible QSFP+ interfaces.
