H3C QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 7m (23ft)

The QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M cable offers a direct QSFP+ to QSFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 7m (23ft) length and AOC construction are intended for H3C equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7MHT Part Number: QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to H3C QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M
• 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 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 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 AOC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-40G-D-AOC-5M at 5m (16ft) and QSFP-40G-D-AOC-10M at 10m (33ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 3m. 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to QSFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

Quote HT part number QSFP-40G-D-AOC-7M with the required quantity. The 7m (23ft) 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.

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.
