Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 2m (7ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 40G performance with a fixed 2m (7ft) cable run. It corresponds to Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M 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-2M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 2m (7ft), (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M
• 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 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.

(Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

(Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M occupies the middle of this family between (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M at 1m (3ft) and (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-3M at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. 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 (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 2m (7ft) 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 (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M, cable length 2m (7ft) 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 (Force10) CBL-QSFP-40GE-2M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 2m (7ft) 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.
