FAQ
The 40G QSFP+ to 4×10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance breakout solution designed for flexible and efficient bandwidth distribution in modern data center and enterprise networks. It enables a single 40G QSFP+ port to be split into four independent 10G SFP+ connections, supporting scalable network architectures and optimized port utilization.
Built with OM3 multimode fiber and integrated active transceivers, this 5-meter cable delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth transmission with excellent signal integrity. Compared to copper DAC alternatives, the AOC design significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and supports longer reach with consistent performance. It is ideal for switch-to-server or switch-to-switch breakout scenarios in high-density networking environments. OEM customization is available for length, labeling, and compatibility coding.Featured DAC & AOC Cable Solutions
