Extreme Networks 10318 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 100m (328ft)

This 100m (328ft) AOC cable is built for Extreme Networks equipment requiring the 10318 interface. The 40Gbps link uses QSFP+ to QSFP+ and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

OEM Part Number: 10318HT Part Number: 10318

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Extreme Networks 10318
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 100m (328ft), 10318
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

The extended 100m (328ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

10318 is the longest of 12 verified length options in this family. Compared with 40GB-F50-QSFP at 50m (164ft), it provides 50m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with 10318, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 100m (328ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Extreme Networks software can request a pre-order check.

When ordering, specify 10318, cable length 100m (328ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, 10318 and the 100m (328ft) length for easier inventory control.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
