ACCORTEC QSFP-40G-AOC10M 10 m 40G Active Optical Cable

Carry 40 Gigabit Ethernet traffic between QSFP-equipped network ports across a 10 m optical link. This active optical cable combines the cable assembly and QSFP interfaces in one fixed-length connection, avoiding separate transceiver modules and fiber patch leads at the link ends. It suits inter-switch, server-to-switch, and aggregation links that need 40GBASE-AOC connectivity within the same equipment room or across nearby racks. QSFP-40G-AOC10M-ACC is specified for Alcatel OmniSwitch compatibility, making it appropriate where the attached platform requires that coded compatibility. The assembly uses active optical technology rather than a passive copper direct-attach construction, addressing links where an optical cable run is required at this 10 m length. QSFP endpoints connect directly to compatible QSFP ports, keeping the optical connection integrated into the cable assembly. Select this cable when the required connection is a 40GBASE active optical assembly rather than a field-built fiber channel. The 10 m reach distinguishes it from shorter rack-only runs while retaining an integrated, fixed-end cable format. TAA-compliant status supports environments that require that designation. Verify port type and platform compatibility at both ends before installation, particularly when connecting equipment from different network families.
