Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 Duplex LC Active Optical Breakout Cable, 10m (33ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M, this QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 10m (33ft) assembly. Its AOC construction provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10MHT Part Number: (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC
• Fixed length and part number: 10m (33ft), (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M
• 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 extended 10m (33ft) 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-8LC-AOC10M occupies the middle of this family between (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC5M at 5m (16ft) and (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC15M at 15m (49ft). 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 duplex LC 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.

Our compatibility setup for Dell (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M is checked together with the physical 10m (33ft) 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.

Use part number (Force10) CBL-QSFP-8LC-AOC10M for the 10m (33ft) 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.

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.

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.
