Product Description

This 3-meter Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC3M active optical cable is designed to connect high-speed network devices with a reliable 40 Gigabit Ethernet link. It is often found in data centers and enterprise networks where rapid data exchange is critical. The cable's active optical design helps reduce signal loss over longer distances compared to standard copper cables.

Built for IT professionals and network engineers, this cable supports efficient interconnectivity between switches, routers, and servers equipped with QSFP+ ports. Its plug-and-play nature makes installation straightforward in dense networking environments.

Key Features

  • Delivers 40GBASE speeds over a 3-meter cable length
  • Utilizes active optical technology to maintain signal integrity
  • Compatible with Cisco QSFP+ 40G ports for seamless integration
  • Energy-efficient design reduces power consumption during operation
  • Plug-and-play setup simplifies deployment in data center racks

This cable is typically deployed within data center racks and high-performance computing clusters, where consistent high-speed connections are paramount. Its ability to maintain data integrity over moderate distances helps reduce latency and supports demanding applications like virtualization and cloud computing.


Use Cases

The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC3M cable is primarily deployed in high-performance networking environments where short-distance, high-speed connections between devices are critical. It serves organizations that require reliable bandwidth with minimal latency, such as data centers and enterprise IT infrastructures focused on virtualization and cloud services.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches within data center rack deployments for efficient traffic flow.
  • Linking high-throughput storage clusters in enterprise environments to support rapid data access and backup workflows.
  • Facilitating low-latency interconnects in virtualization environments to optimize server-to-server communication.
  • Providing connectivity in edge computing setups where compact, high-bandwidth links are necessary between edge nodes.
  • Supporting high-density switching fabrics in campus networks requiring scalable 40GBASE connectivity.

By enabling direct 40 Gigabit optical connections, this active optical cable reduces signal degradation and supports scalable network architectures. This helps organizations maintain operational efficiency while accommodating growing bandwidth demands without extensive cabling complexity.
