Applications
The 40G QSFP+ to 4 Duplex LC Breakout AOC, 5m (16ft) is a 40Gbps active optical cable for QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC connections in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is produced in 5 standard lengths from 5m (16ft) to 30m (98ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. Compatibility with Cisco systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QSFP-8LC-AOC5M.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-8LC-AOC5M and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel.
Ordering Information
The factory part number is QSFP-40G-4LCAO05. This cable is available in 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft) and 30m (98ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory.
Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.
How We Pack
Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.
Customization Service
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
