Features

QSFP+ Fiber Cable Connects Network Equipment at Speeds up to 40 Gbps

This 20-meter (65.6-foot) QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) provides next-generation performance by combining four full-duplex 10 Gbps SFP+ channels into one affordable high-density package. Each male connector contains four fiber optic transceivers, each capable of data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. Together, the N28F-20M-AQ provides an aggregated speed up to 40 Gbps, making it ideal for switches, servers, routers and other high-end networking equipment.

Push/Pull Tab Connectors Provide Quick, Easy Connections

The hot-pluggable QSFP+ connectors include ergonomic push/pull tabs, which are easily accessible in high-density applications and make the cable easy to install and remove with just one hand.

Engineered and Optimized for Bandwidth-Intense Applications

This QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable integrates a 40 Gbps Ethernet-optimized 38-position “board as connector” design. Die-cast zinc connectors offer superior EMI (electromagnetic interference) resistance and reduced crosstalk. The connectors have also been tested to meet stringent insertion loss standards. The QSFP+ optical cable’s 8-pair wire technology is optimized for 40GBASE-CR4, 6G SAS, Fibre Channel, PCIe, SONET and InfiniBand applications. The plenum-rated OFNP jacket is designed for connecting network components in drop ceiling, walls and ducts.

Cisco-Compatible Cable Fully Compliant with the Latest Standards

This QSFP+ cable is fully compliant with the latest QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), IEEE 802.3ba standards and industry-standard SFF-8436 specifications. It is compatible with all QSFP and QSFP+ ports and Cisco’s QSFP-H40G-AOC1M cable.

Typical Applications

10GBASE-SR and 40GBASE-SR4 Ethernet
InfiniBand QDR (4x10G), DDR (4x5G) and SDR (4x2.5G)
6G SAS and SONET
High-speed parallel interconnects for high-performance computing (HPC) and data center interconnects (DCI)
Connect active network equipment in high-end server rooms or enterprise wiring closets
