Description
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC1M is a 1-meter active optical breakout cable designed to connect a single 40-Gigabit QSFP+ port to four 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports. Engineered for short-reach, high-density data center and enterprise environments, this cable provides reliable 4x10G connectivity with reduced bulk compared to copper alternatives.
Using integrated active optics, the QSFP-4X10G-AOC1M delivers low power consumption, excellent signal integrity, and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its lightweight and flexible design improves airflow and simplifies cable management in dense rack deployments. The cable is factory-terminated and tested, enabling fast, plug-and-play installation without the need for separate transceivers.
Ideal for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, or breakout applications, this Cisco active optical cable ensures consistent performance and compatibility across supported Cisco networking platforms.
