Cisco QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 2m (7ft)

This HT cable matches the QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M requirement for Cisco equipment. The 2m (7ft) 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.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2MHT Part Number: QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Cisco QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 2m (7ft), QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M
• 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.

QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M 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.

QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC1M at 1m (3ft) and QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC3M 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 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 SFP+ 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.

The assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

This product is ordered as QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M in 2m (7ft). 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.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, QSFP-4 x 10G-AOC2M and the 2m (7ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
