Description
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M is a 3-meter active optical breakout cable designed to deliver high-performance 40G to 4x10G connectivity in data center and enterprise networking environments. This cable connects a single 40-Gigabit QSFP port to four 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports, enabling flexible port utilization while maintaining low power consumption and superior signal integrity.
Built for short-reach, high-density deployments, this active optical cable is thinner and lighter than copper alternatives, improving airflow and simplifying cable management in racks and adjacent cabinets. Fully factory-terminated and tested, it provides a reliable, plug-and-play solution for Cisco-compatible switches, routers, and servers requiring dependable 40G breakout connectivity.
