Description
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC10M is a high-performance active optical cable designed to deliver reliable 40Gbps to 4x10Gbps breakout connectivity across a 10-meter length. Built for data center and enterprise networking environments, this AOC integrates four 10G SFP+ ends with a single 40G QSFP+ connector, enabling seamless connections between QSFP+ ports and multiple SFP+ ports on switches, routers, or servers. Its lightweight, flexible fiber construction reduces airflow blockage and simplifies cable management in high-density deployments. The cable is hot-swappable and compliant with MSA standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Cisco networking equipment.
Ideal for short-reach applications, the QSFP-4X10G-AOC10M supports low power consumption and offers high signal integrity for consistent performance. It features built-in digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for real-time status updates on temperature, voltage, and optical power levels. The ruggedized design includes precision-molded connectors and strain relief to maintain signal quality over time, even in demanding environments. When purchasing used, buyers can expect a cost-effective solution that maintains Cisco’s standard of performance and reliability.
