Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-25M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 25m (82ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 40G performance with a fixed 25m (82ft) cable run. It corresponds to Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-25M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-25M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 25m (82ft), (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-25M
• 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 25m (82ft) 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.

(Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-25M occupies the middle of this family between (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-20M at 20m (66ft) and (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-30M at 30m (98ft). 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.

Our compatibility setup for Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-25M is checked together with the physical 25m (82ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

Quote HT part number (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-25M with the required quantity. The 25m (82ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

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.

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.
