Brocade 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201 Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 2m (7ft)

Use the 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201 compatible assembly where a 40G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 2m (7ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 2m (7ft), 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201
• 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 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.

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.

40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201 provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0101 at 1m (3ft) and 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0301 at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. 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.

Our compatibility setup for Brocade 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201 is checked together with the physical 2m (7ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

Use part number 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201 for the 2m (7ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

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, 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0201 and the 2m (7ft) 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.
