This is a genuine Cisco 3-meter 40GbE QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) (P/N: QSFP-H40G-AOC3M). This high-performance cable assembly is a complete, self-contained fiber optic link with the transceivers permanently attached to the cable ends. It is designed to provide a reliable and efficient solution for short-distance, high-speed data connections in data centers and enterprise networks, connecting two 40GbE QSFP+ ports on switches, routers, servers, or storage arrays.

Key Features

• Genuine Cisco Part: Ensures "plug and play" compatibility and validated performance with Cisco Nexus, Catalyst, and UCS networking equipment.

• Active Optical Technology: As an Active Optical Cable (AOC), it uses fiber optics to transmit data, making it much lighter, thinner, and more flexible than traditional copper Direct Attach Cables (DACs). This allows for easier cable management and longer reach.

• High-Speed 40GbE Performance: Delivers a full 40Gb/s of throughput, making it ideal for high-performance computing, top-of-rack switching, and storage applications.

• All-in-One Design: The transceivers are integrated into the cable ends, providing a simple, plug-and-play solution without the need to purchase and install separate transceivers and fiber patch cables.
