QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT 40G QSFP+ Active Copper Cable, 7m (23ft)

Use the QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT compatible assembly where a 40G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 7m (23ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FTHT Part Number: QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured ACC assembly in 7m (23ft)
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 37.5mm

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 37.5mm. 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-40G-AC-7M23FT is the shortest of 2 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 QSFP+-40G-ACC-10M33FT at 10m (33ft), adding 3m 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 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The extended 7m (23ft) 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 ACC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 7m (23ft) 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.

When ordering, specify QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT, cable length 7m (23ft) 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.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days. Worldwide courier, air freight and sea freight options are available, and shipments can also be sent on your own courier account or delivered to an appointed forwarder.
