H3C QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 Duplex LC Active Optical Breakout Cable, 15m (49ft)

For short, high-density connections, this AOC cable combines 40G performance with a fixed 15m (49ft) cable run. It corresponds to H3C QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15M and uses a factory-terminated active optical link with the optical engines and fiber integrated into the assembly.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15MHT Part Number: QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to H3C QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 duplex LC
• Fixed length and part number: 15m (49ft), QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15M
• 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 15m (49ft) 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-15M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-10M at 10m (33ft) and QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-20M at 20m (66ft). 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.

Each QSFP-8LC-D-AOC-15M 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-8LC-D-AOC-15M with the required quantity. The 15m (49ft) 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.

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-D-AOC-15M and the 15m (49ft) length for easier inventory control.

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.
