Cable óptico activo AOC CBO 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1001-BO 10 m QSFP+ a QSFP+ 40 Gbit/s conector–conector

The AOC CBO 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1001-BO is an active optical cable with QSFP+ male connectors on both ends, designed to provide a direct 40 Gbit/s link over a 10 m distance. Intended for short to mid-range interconnects, this cable enables high-bandwidth connections between QSFP+ ports in data centers, network switches and servers while reducing electromagnetic interference and maintaining low latency.

Advantages

This active optical cable delivers full 40 Gbit/s throughput across a 10 m span while remaining lightweight and flexible compared with equivalent copper assemblies. The optical construction reduces susceptibility to EMI, improves signal integrity at high speeds and eliminates the need for separate transceivers. Its QSFP+ male-to-male terminations simplify direct port-to-port connections and help reduce rack cabling complexity in dense networking environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP+ male connector into the corresponding QSFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring the connectors are aligned and fully seated. No additional transceivers or configuration is required beyond verifying port compatibility and speed settings on connected equipment. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the recommended bend radius for optical assemblies. When removing the cable, unlock any retention mechanisms and pull straight from the connector to avoid stressing the housing.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m QSFP+ active optical cable for short- to mid-range high-speed links where reduced EMI and low latency are priorities. Verify that both endpoints support QSFP+ and 40 Gbit/s operation, and follow standard data center cable management practices to preserve optical performance and mechanical integrity.
