Extreme Networks 40GB-F50-QSFP Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 50m (164ft)

The HT-manufactured 40GB-F50-QSFP compatible cable provides 40G connectivity for Extreme Networks equipment. This 50m (164ft) version is a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

OEM Part Number: 40GB-F50-QSFPHT Part Number: 40GB-F50-QSFP

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Extreme Networks 40GB-F50-QSFP
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 50m (164ft), 40GB-F50-QSFP
• 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 50m (164ft) 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.

40GB-F50-QSFP occupies the middle of this family between 40GB-F30-QSFP at 30m (98ft) and 10318 at 100m (328ft). It adds 20m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 50m. 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to QSFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting 40GB-F50-QSFP 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 40GB-F50-QSFP in 50m (164ft). 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.

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.

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.
