H3C QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 Duplex LC Active Optical Breakout Cable, 10m (33ft)

The QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M cable offers a direct QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC connection at 40Gbps. Its 10m (33ft) length and AOC construction are intended for H3C equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10MHT Part Number: QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to H3C QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC
• Fixed length and part number: 10m (33ft), QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M
• 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-D-AOC-10M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-5M at 5m (16ft) and QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15M 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 10m (33ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new H3C software can request a pre-order check.

When ordering, specify QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M, cable length 10m (33ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

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.

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.
