Extreme Networks 40G AOC QSFP+ 3 m

Maintain high-speed connectivity between adjacent switches, servers, and storage with a 40 GbE QSFP+ active optical cable designed for short-reach data center links. The 3 m length gives you enough slack for practical rack routing without adding excess cable mass that can block airflow or complicate service access. Active optical cabling is a strong fit when you want the reach and signal integrity of fiber with the simplicity of a direct-attach assembly. Compared with longer or more complex transceiver-and-patch-cord combinations, this cable helps reduce component count at the link edge and keeps deployment straightforward in tightly packed racks. Use it where consistent 40G interconnects are required between neighboring enclosures, top-of-rack switches, or aggregation points. For teams standardizing on QSFP+ infrastructure, this cable supports cleaner cable management and a more controlled physical layer for short-distance links.
