Dell CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 7m (23ft)

The CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M cable offers a direct QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 7m (23ft) length and AOC construction are intended for Dell equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M
• 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 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.

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.

CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M occupies the middle of this family between CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC5M at 5m (16ft) and CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC10M 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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M, 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 Dell software can request a pre-order check.

When ordering, specify CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M, cable length 7m (23ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

Every CBL-QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC7M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 7m (23ft) 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.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
