Dell CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 20m (66ft)

The CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M cable offers a direct QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 20m (66ft) length and AOC construction are intended for Dell equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20MHT Part Number: CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 20m (66ft), CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M
• 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 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.

CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M occupies the middle of this family between CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC15M at 15m (49ft) and CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC25M 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 QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M 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.

Use part number CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M 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.

Every CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC20M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 20m (66ft) 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.

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.
