Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 2m (7ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201, this QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 2m (7ft) assembly. Its AOC construction provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

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

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 2m (7ft), 40G-QSFP-QSFP-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 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-QSFP-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-QSFP-AOC-0201 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0101 at 1m (3ft) and 40G-QSFP-QSFP-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.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

Quote HT part number 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201 with the required quantity. The 2m (7ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.

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.
