Juniper Networks JNP-40G-AOC-20M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 20m (66ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 40G performance with a fixed 20m (66ft) cable run. It corresponds to Juniper Networks JNP-40G-AOC-20M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: JNP-40G-AOC-20MHT Part Number: JNP-40G-AOC-20M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Juniper Networks JNP-40G-AOC-20M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 20m (66ft), JNP-40G-AOC-20M
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.

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 20m (66ft) 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.

JNP-40G-AOC-20M occupies the middle of this family between JNP-40G-AOC-15M at 15m (49ft) and JNP-40G-AOC-25M at 25m (82ft). 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.

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 HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with JNP-40G-AOC-20M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 20m (66ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Juniper Networks software can request a pre-order check.

This product is ordered as JNP-40G-AOC-20M in 20m (66ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

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.
