Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40GBase-AOC active optical cable used for?
A 40GBase-AOC cable provides high-speed 40Gbps connectivity between network switches, routers, and servers in data centers. Active optical cables eliminate signal loss over longer distances compared to passive copper cables, making them ideal for 10-meter interconnects in enterprise environments.
Is this QSFP+ cable compatible with my Cisco and Intel equipment?
Yes. The AddOn ADD-QCIQIN-AOC10M is specifically designed as a compatible replacement for Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC10M and Intel CBL2-1001001-3 cables. It meets OEM specifications and is fully interoperable with both Cisco and Intel networking infrastructure.
What does TAA compliant mean for this active optical cable?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance ensures this cable meets U.S. federal procurement standards and is eligible for government and regulated industry purchases. It guarantees the product meets specific manufacturing and sourcing requirements.
How far can a 40GBase-AOC cable transmit without signal loss?
This 10-meter 40GBase-AOC QSFP+ cable uses 850nm multimode fiber to maintain signal integrity over its full length. Active optical technology compensates for fiber attenuation, ensuring reliable 40Gbps performance at the maximum 10-meter distance without degradation.
