Extreme Networks 10GB-4-F30-QSFP Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 30m (98ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize 10GB-4-F30-QSFP, this QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 30m (98ft) assembly. Its AOC construction provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: 10GB-4-F30-QSFPHT Part Number: 10GB-4-F30-QSFP

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Extreme Networks 10GB-4-F30-QSFP
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 30m (98ft), 10GB-4-F30-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 30m (98ft) 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-F30-QSFP is the longest of 10 verified length options in this family. Compared with 10GB-4-F25-QSFP at 25m (82ft), it provides 5m 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 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting 10GB-4-F30-QSFP and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

When ordering, specify 10GB-4-F30-QSFP, cable length 30m (98ft) 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.

Every 10GB-4-F30-QSFP compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 30m (98ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

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.
