AddOn Cisco Compatible 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ 50 m

Move 40 GbE traffic with an active optical cable designed for direct QSFP+ to QSFP+ connectivity over multi-mode fiber. With a 50 m reach, this assembly is well suited to rack-to-rack and row-to-row links where copper would be too bulky or too limited in distance. The active optical design helps keep the cable path light and manageable while preserving the bandwidth needed for dense network environments. This AddOn cable is Cisco compatible, programmed, uniquely serialized, and tested for data traffic and application behavior, which matters when the link sits in a production path and downtime is expensive. The 850 nm operating wavelength and 40 Gbit/s data rate align with common 40GBASE-AOC requirements, while TAA compliance supports procurement in regulated environments. For infrastructure teams, the value is in the combination of reach, interoperability, and procurement fit. It is a practical choice when you need a verified 40 GbE interconnect that installs cleanly, performs consistently, and avoids the cable bulk of passive alternatives.
