QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT 40G QSFP+ to 4 Duplex LC Active Optical Breakout Cable, 5m (16ft)

Use the QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT compatible assembly where a 40G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 5m (16ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FTHT Part Number: QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured AOC assembly in 5m (16ft)
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT
• 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 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.

The 5m (16ft) length gives QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. The integrated optical assembly should be supported along its route without tight bends or connector pull loads; the AOC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT is the shortest of 5 verified length options in this family. It is the preferred choice when the port positions are close and cable slack must be kept to a minimum. The next option is QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC-40G-AOC-10M33FT at 10m (33ft), adding 5m for a less direct routing path; selecting it unnecessarily would leave more cable to dress.

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 QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 5m (16ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Generic software can request a pre-order check.

Use part number QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT for the 5m (16ft) 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.

Every QSFP-40G-4LCAO-5M16FT compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 5m (16ft) 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.
