Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC30M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 30m (98ft)

With a fixed 30m (98ft) cable and QSFP+ to QSFP+, the QSFP-H40G-AOC30M compatible assembly simplifies 40G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Cisco equipment.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-H40G-AOC30MHT Part Number: QSFP-H40G-AOC30M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC30M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 30m (98ft), QSFP-H40G-AOC30M
• 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.

QSFP-H40G-AOC30M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-H40G-AOC25M at 25m (82ft) and QSFP-H40G-AOC50M at 50m (164ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 20m. 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 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.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP-H40G-AOC30M, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 30m (98ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Cisco software can request a pre-order check.

When ordering, specify QSFP-H40G-AOC30M, cable length 30m (98ft) 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.

Every QSFP-H40G-AOC30M compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 30m (98ft) 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.
