Description
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M is a 3-meter active optical breakout cable designed to connect one 40G QSFP port to four 10G SFP+ ports. Engineered for high-density data center and enterprise networking environments, this cable provides reliable, low-latency 40G to 4x10G connectivity with reduced power consumption and improved airflow compared to copper alternatives.
This active optical cable is ideal for short-reach interconnects within racks or across adjacent racks, delivering consistent signal integrity while minimizing electromagnetic interference. Fully hot-swappable and factory-terminated, the QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M enables fast deployment and simplified cable management in modern high-performance network architectures.
