Brocade 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001 Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 10m (33ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 40G performance with a fixed 10m (33ft) cable run. It corresponds to Brocade 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001 and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 10m (33ft), 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001
• 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 10m (33ft) 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.

40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-0701 at 7m (23ft) and 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1501 at 15m (49ft). It adds 3m 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 10m (33ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Brocade software can request a pre-order check.

Use part number 40G-QSFP-4SFP-AOC-1001 for the 10m (33ft) 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.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
