Brocade QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001 Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 Duplex LC Active Optical Breakout Cable, 30m (98ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001, this QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 30m (98ft) 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-3001HT Part Number: QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC
• Fixed length and part number: 30m (98ft), QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001
• 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 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.

The extended 30m (98ft) 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-3001 is the longest of 5 verified length options in this family. Compared with QSFP-8LC-AOC-2001 at 20m (66ft), it provides 10m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

Our compatibility setup for Brocade QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001 is checked together with the physical 30m (98ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and optical link operation, receive activity and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

This product is ordered as QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001 in 30m (98ft). 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.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, QSFP-8LC-AOC-3001 and the 30m (98ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
