Description
The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC20M is a 40-Gigabit QSFP+ Active Optical Cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise networking environments. With a fixed 20-meter length, this cable provides a lightweight, low-power alternative to copper DACs while delivering reliable 40G Ethernet connectivity between QSFP+ ports.
This active optical cable integrates optical transceivers directly into each end, eliminating the need for separate optics and fiber patch cords. Its slim, flexible design improves airflow, reduces cable congestion, and eliminates electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for rack-to-rack and adjacent-row connections in modern data centers.
