Brocade QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001 Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 Duplex LC Active Optical Breakout Cable, 10m (33ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001, this QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 10m (33ft) assembly. Its AOC construction provides a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001HT Part Number: QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC
• Fixed length and part number: 10m (33ft), QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001
• 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 extended 10m (33ft) 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-8LC-AOC-1001 occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-8LC-AOC-0501 at 5m (16ft) and QSFP-8LC-AOC-1501 at 15m (49ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. 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 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.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001 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-8LC-AOC-1001 with the required quantity. The 10m (33ft) 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.

Every QSFP-8LC-AOC-1001 compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 10m (33ft) 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.
