Description
The 40G QSFP+ to 4×10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable (AOC) is a four-channel parallel optical interconnect designed to connect one 40G QSFP+ port to four independent 10G SFP+ ports. Each optical channel supports data rates up to 10.3125Gbps, providing up to 40Gbps of aggregate bandwidth. Using 850nm VCSEL array transmitters, PIN array receivers, and multimode fiber, the cable provides reliable and low-latency optical connectivity for 40G and 10G Ethernet networks. Its armored construction and -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range support demanding industrial deployments, while integrated optical components, low power consumption, and DDM/DOM support simplify installation by eliminating separate transceivers and intermediate fiber assemblies.

FAQ
What is the breakout configuration?
The cable connects one 40G QSFP+ port to four independent 10G SFP+ ports, allowing a single 40G interface to connect directly with four 10G network interfaces.
What data rate does each channel support?
Each optical channel supports up to 10.3125Gbps, providing an aggregate bandwidth of up to 40Gbps across the four channels.
What makes this AOC suitable for industrial environments?
The cable features an armored construction and an extended operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, providing additional mechanical protection and reliable operation in demanding environments.
Are separate optical transceivers required?
No. The QSFP+ and SFP+ optical interfaces are integrated into the AOC, eliminating the need for separate optical transceivers and intermediate fiber patch assemblies.
What optical technology does the cable use?
The AOC uses 850nm VCSEL array transmitters and PIN array receivers over multimode fiber to provide reliable short-range optical transmission.
