Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 7m (23ft)

This HT cable matches the 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701 requirement for Brocade equipment. The 7m (23ft) assembly supports 40G operation and provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701
• 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.

40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0501 at 5m (16ft) and 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1001 at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 3m. 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 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 7m (23ft) 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0701, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 7m (23ft) 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-QSFP-AOC-0701 for the 7m (23ft) 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-QSFP-AOC-0701 and the 7m (23ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
