Frequently Asked Questions
What is a QSFP+ active optical cable used for?
A QSFP+ active optical cable transmits 40 Gigabit data signals over fiber optic strands, ideal for connecting high-speed network switches, routers, and servers in data centers where distances exceed standard copper cable limits. The 40G AOC cable is essential for backbone infrastructure and inter-switch links requiring reliable, long-distance connectivity.
Is this QSFP+ cable compatible with Cisco equipment?
Yes, the ENET QSFP-H40G-AOC25M is fully compatible with Cisco Nexus switches, UCS systems, and any device supporting standard QSFP+ transceivers. This Cisco-compatible QSFP+ cable provides pin-to-pin equivalence and meets all Cisco specifications for seamless integration.
How far can this 40G active optical cable transmit?
This 25-meter active optical cable maintains full 40 Gbps performance across the entire 25-meter distance without signal loss or degradation, making it suitable for large data center floor layouts and multi-rack deployments where copper alternatives would fail.
What makes active optical cables better than passive copper cables?
Active optical cables integrate signal conditioning electronics to overcome distance limitations inherent in copper. The 40G AOC technology enables longer runs (25m vs. 7m for copper), lower power consumption, reduced heat generation, and superior electromagnetic immunity in dense data center environments.
