Description
The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC30M is a 40 Gigabit Ethernet active optical cable designed for high-speed, short-to-mid-range connectivity within data centers and enterprise network environments. With an integrated QSFP+ transceiver on each end, this 30-meter active optical cable delivers reliable 40G performance while reducing weight, bulk, and airflow obstruction compared to traditional copper cabling.
Built for low power consumption and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), the QSFP-H40G-AOC30M is ideal for switch-to-switch and switch-to-server connections across racks. Fully tested and validated for Cisco platforms, it offers a simple, plug-and-play solution for high-density networking deployments requiring clean cable management and consistent throughput.
