Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)

This 1m (3ft) AOC cable is built for Brocade equipment requiring the 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101 interface. The 40Gbps link uses QSFP+ to QSFP+ and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101
• 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.

At 1m (3ft), 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101 is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101 is the shortest of 11 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201 at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 1m (3ft) 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.

This product is ordered as 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101 in 1m (3ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

Every 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101 compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 1m (3ft) 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.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
