QSFP-H40G-AOC30M — QSFP+ 40 Gbps

The QSFP-H40G-AOC30M from Cisco is an active optical cable (AOC) in QSFP+ form factor, delivering 40 Gbps over a length of 30 metres. Unlike DAC cables limited to a few metres, this AOC cable integrates active transceivers at each end to transmit over internal optical fibre, enabling inter-room or inter-aisle distances. It is differentiated from the 25 m version by its additional reach, useful when equipment is separated by several aisles. Temperature: 0 to 70 °C.

This 30 m AOC cable is recommended for End-of-Row architectures in large data centres or for connecting two nearby technical rooms. Operations teams who want the lightness and flexibility of fibre without the complexity of separate transceivers will particularly appreciate this format. Genuine Cisco hardware, manufacturer warranty.
