40G QSFP+ AOC Overview

The 40G QSFP+ AOC category contains the Q40-Q40-A, a straight-through active optical cable with 40G QSFP+ interfaces at both ends. Available in lengths from 1m to 100m, it carries the full 40G data rate between two compatible QSFP+ ports through an integrated optical cable assembly, supporting direct connections between 40G network devices.

FAQ

What connector arrangement does the Q40-Q40-A use for a direct 40G connection?

It uses one QSFP+ interface at each end. The straight-through assembly directly connects one compatible 40G QSFP+ port to another.

What cable length range is available when ordering the Q40-Q40-A active optical cable?

From 1m to 100m. Each Q40-Q40-A is supplied as a fixed-length cable assembly with integrated QSFP+ ends.

How does the Q40-Q40-A carry the full 40Gb/s data rate between its two QSFP+ interfaces?

It carries an aggregate 40Gb/s through four full-duplex lanes, with each lane operating at up to 10Gb/s.

Can the Q40-Q40-A split one 40G QSFP+ port into four separate 10G SFP+ connections?

No. The Q40-Q40-A is a straight-through QSFP+-to-QSFP+ AOC and does not include four separate SFP+ branches.

Does the Q40-Q40-A require separate optical transceivers or detachable fiber patch cords?

No. Its optical components, fiber cable, and QSFP+ ends are integrated into one complete cable assembly.

What platform information should be provided before ordering the Q40-Q40-A for a specific network device?

Provide the device manufacturer, exact switch, server, or network adapter model, port type, software version, and required cable length. Contact AICPLIGHT to confirm compatibility and length availability before ordering.
