H3C QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 3m (10ft)

Use the QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M compatible assembly where a 40G connection is required between compatible ports. This page covers the 3m (10ft) version only, with its own HT part number, specifications and compatibility verification.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3MHT Part Number: QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to H3C QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 3m (10ft), QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M
• 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.

At 3m (10ft), this assembly can bridge non-aligned ports or adjacent racks while remaining a single direct-attach link. Support longer horizontal runs with suitable cable management and preserve space for cooling and future maintenance.

QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-40G-D-AOC-2M at 2m (7ft) and QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M at 5m (16ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. 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 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.

For this H3C application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

This product is ordered as QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M in 3m (10ft). 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.

Every QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 3m (10ft) 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.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
