Description
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M is a 7-meter active optical breakout cable designed to deliver high-performance 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity while breaking out into four 10 Gigabit SFP+ links. Built for high-density data center and enterprise environments, this cable provides a lightweight, flexible alternative to copper while eliminating EMI concerns and improving airflow.
Featuring a QSFP+ connector on one end and four SFP+ connectors on the other, the QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M enables seamless connectivity between 40G QSFP ports and multiple 10G SFP+ ports. Its active optical design supports reliable short-reach connections across racks with reduced cable bulk, making it ideal for scalable network architectures and breakout applications.
