FAQ
The 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ QDR Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance interconnect solution designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in modern data centers and enterprise networks. Supporting Quad Data Rate (QDR) 40Gbps connectivity, it provides a stable and low-latency link between QSFP+ ports over OM3 multimode fiber.
This 10-meter active optical cable integrates optical transceivers and fiber into a single assembly, ensuring superior signal integrity compared to passive copper solutions. Its 4-channel parallel architecture enables efficient parallel transmission, making it ideal for switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections in high-density environments. The OM3 multimode fiber construction ensures optimized short-reach performance, while the active design reduces EMI and supports consistent high-bandwidth operation.Featured DAC & AOC Cable Solutions

Q1: What does QDR 40G mean?
A: QDR (Quad Data Rate) refers to 40Gbps transmission using four parallel 10G channels within the QSFP+ interface.
Q2: How is an AOC different from a DAC cable?
A: AOC uses optical fiber with active transceivers, offering longer reach, lower latency, and better EMI resistance compared to DAC copper cables.
Q3: What is OM3 fiber used for?
A: OM3 multimode fiber is optimized for high-speed short-reach transmission, commonly used in data centers for 10G and 40G links.
Q4: Can this cable work with any QSFP+ switch?
A: It is compatible with most major vendors, but EEPROM coding may be required for full system compatibility.
Q5: Is this suitable for long-distance transmission?
A: This model is optimized for short-to-medium reach (up to 10 meters), typical for intra-data-center connections.
