Description
The 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ QDR Active Optical Cable, 50M is designed for high-speed, high-bandwidth connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks. It converts electrical signals into optical signals, allowing reliable 40Gb/s transmission over extended distances where copper DACs cannot reach.
Both ends feature QSFP+ connectors (SFF-8436) supporting QDR InfiniBand and 40GbE Ethernet protocols. Its 50-meter length allows flexible deployment across multiple racks or across data center aisles. The cable provides low latency, low power consumption, and high signal integrity, making it ideal for HPC clusters, storage interconnects, and switch-to-switch connections.
The cable is compatible with major vendors and supports hot-swappable installation without powering down equipment, ensuring minimal disruption in live environments. OEM/ODM customization is available for length, branding, and packaging.
