QSFP-4SFP-AOC15M 40Gbps QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ Active Optical Cables

1 Description

The QSFP-4SFP-AOCxM is a Four-Channel, Pluggable, Parallel, Fiber-Optic QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) to 4× SFP+ Active Optical Cable break-out solution. This Breakout cable is intended for 40G to 4× 10G applications.

This AOC is a high performance cable for short-range multi-lane data communication and interconnect applications. It integrates four data lanes in each direction with 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. Each lane can operate at 10.3125 Gbps. These cables also support 4 x 10G InfiniBand QDR applications and are backwards compatible to the 4 × 5G IB DDR and 4 × 2.5G IB single IB SDR applications.

This product is leveraged from REALSEA QSFP+ to QSFP+ Active Optical Cable product and SFP+ Active Optical Cable product. Where applicable, consult these respective datasheets

This AOC incorporates REALSEA' proven integrated circuit and VCSEL technology to provide reliable long life, high performance, and consistent service.
