Overview
This QSFP+ breakout cable connects a single QSFP+ port to four 10G SFP+ ports and delivers what you need most in your network connections: reliable performance. It’s built to MSA specifications and fully tested to ensure seamless compatibility.
This active optical cable (AOC) is fully hot-pluggable and supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet applications connected through QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) ports. The AOC cable is lighter and more flexible than QSFP+ direct-attach cables which makes it ideal for installation in tight spaces and over longer distances.
Designed for high-speed interconnects, this low-power, low-latency optical cable is ideal for applications such as point-to-point in-rack and across-rack network switch or server connections, for up to four 10G SFP+ devices.
Backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty, the QSFP4X10GAO5 is a reliable replacement cable for the Cisco® QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M.
Applications
Use in 40Gb/10Gb mixed Ethernet network applications
Point-to-point in-rack and across-rack server or network switch connections, for up to four devices
