Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 1m (3ft)

This HT cable matches the (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M requirement for Dell equipment. The 1m (3ft) assembly supports 40G operation and provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M
• 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.

(Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M is the shortest of 11 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M at 2m (7ft), adding 1m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

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.

At 1m (3ft), (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 1m (3ft) 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.

Use part number (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M for the 1m (3ft) 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.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

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.
