Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 15m (49ft)

With a fixed 15m (49ft) cable and QSFP+ to QSFP+, the 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501 compatible assembly simplifies 40G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Brocade equipment.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 15m (49ft), 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501
• 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 15m (49ft) 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-QSFP-AOC-1501 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1001 at 10m (33ft) and 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001 at 20m (66ft). It adds 5m 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to QSFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501 and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

This product is ordered as 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501 in 15m (49ft). 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-1501 compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 15m (49ft) 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.

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.
