Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC50M Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable, 50m (164ft)

The QSFP-H40G-AOC50M cable offers a direct QSFP+ to QSFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 50m (164ft) length and AOC construction are intended for Cisco equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

OEM Part Number: QSFP-H40G-AOC50MHT Part Number: QSFP-H40G-AOC50M

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC50M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 50m (164ft), QSFP-H40G-AOC50M
• 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 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 50m (164ft) 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-H40G-AOC50M is the longest of 11 verified length options in this family. Compared with QSFP-H40G-AOC30M at 30m (98ft), it provides 20m 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.

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.

Each QSFP-H40G-AOC50M 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 Cisco platform should be included with the order.

Use part number QSFP-H40G-AOC50M for the 50m (164ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
