Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

The 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001 cable offers a direct QSFP+ to QSFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 20m (66ft) length and AOC construction are intended for Brocade equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 20m (66ft), 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001
• 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 extended 20m (66ft) 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-2001 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-1501 at 15m (49ft) and 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2501 at 25m (82ft). 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.

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.

For this Brocade application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

Use part number 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-2001 for the 20m (66ft) 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-2001 and the 20m (66ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
