Overview
The NSComm 40G QSFP+ to 4×10G SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) is designed for high-performance 40G to 10G breakout connections in data centers and enterprise networks.
Built with OM3 multimode fiber, it supports standard lengths up to 30 m (98 ft) and custom lengths up to 100 m (328 ft) for flexible deployment in top-of-rack (ToR) and middle-of-row (MoR) architectures.
This breakout AOC features a QSFP+ connector on one end and four SFP+ connectors on the other, enabling seamless 40G QSFP+ port connections to four individual 10G SFP+ ports.
It is fully hot-pluggable, supports Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM), and ensures low power consumption (typically ≤ 1.5 W per end).
Compliant with QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba standards, the NS 40G breakout AOC delivers reliable signal integrity and EMI immunity, making it ideal for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connectivity.
The cable is extensively tested for compatibility with Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, Arista, Dell, Netgear, Intel, HPE Aruba, Fortinet, and other leading vendors.
