Description
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC10M is a 10-meter active optical breakout cable designed to connect a single 40-Gigabit QSFP port to four 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports. Engineered for high-density data center and enterprise network environments, this cable delivers reliable 40G to 4x10G connectivity while maintaining excellent signal integrity and low power consumption.
This active optical cable is lightweight, flexible, and immune to electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for short-reach connections within racks or between adjacent racks. The integrated optics eliminate the need for separate transceivers, reducing complexity and improving airflow in high-performance switching environments.
