H3C QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 5m (16ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 40G performance with a fixed 5m (16ft) cable run. It corresponds to H3C QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5MHT Part Number: QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to H3C QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 5m (16ft), QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M
• 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 5m (16ft) length gives QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M 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-D-AOC-5M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-40G-D-AOC-3M at 3m (10ft) and QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m 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.

Each QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended H3C platform should be included with the order.

Quote HT part number QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M with the required quantity. The 5m (16ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
