Extreme Networks 10GB-4-F15-QSFP Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 15m (49ft)

With a fixed 15m (49ft) cable and QSFP+ to 4 SFP+, the 10GB-4-F15-QSFP compatible assembly simplifies 40G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Extreme Networks equipment.

OEM Part Number: 10GB-4-F15-QSFPHT Part Number: 10GB-4-F15-QSFP

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Extreme Networks 10GB-4-F15-QSFP
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 15m (49ft), 10GB-4-F15-QSFP
• 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 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 extended 15m (49ft) 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.

10GB-4-F15-QSFP occupies the middle of this family between 10GB-4-F10-QSFP at 10m (33ft) and 10GB-4-F20-QSFP at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

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 QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

Each 10GB-4-F15-QSFP compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Extreme Networks platform should be included with the order.

When ordering, specify 10GB-4-F15-QSFP, cable length 15m (49ft) 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, 10GB-4-F15-QSFP and the 15m (49ft) length for easier inventory control.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
