AOC kábel CBO 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201-BO 2m konektor samec-na-samec 40 Gbit/s

Twinax active AOC cable CBO 40G-QSFP-QSFP-AOC-0201-BO is a 2-meter, QSFP-to-QSFP male-to-male cable engineered for 40 Gbit/s links between compatible QSFP ports. The cable integrates active optical components to provide a low-latency, power-efficient connection suitable for short-reach high-throughput applications. Its QSFP form-factor connectors enable direct attachment between switches, servers and network appliances in data center racks and high-density networking environments.

Advantages

The cable supports full 40 Gbit/s data rates while maintaining low latency and reduced power consumption compared with longer optical link alternatives. Its active twinax design provides signal conditioning across the 2 m span, ensuring reliable high-speed transmission with minimized bit error rates. The compact QSFP-to-QSFP termination simplifies cabling in dense rack deployments and reduces the need for transceiver modules, saving space and easing cable management.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Direct high-speed interconnects between QSFP-equipped switches and routers in data centers
• Server-to-switch connections in top-of-rack and end-of-row configurations
• High-performance computing clusters and storage arrays requiring 40 Gbit/s links
• Short-reach aggregation links in rack-mounted network appliances

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male-to-male
• Rated data rate: 40 Gbit/s
• Cable length: 2 meters
• Cable type: Active twinax AOC (active optical cable)
• Typical application: Short-reach high-throughput interconnects
• Form factor: QSFP compatible for high-density ports

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each QSFP male connector into compatible QSFP ports on networking equipment until the connector latch engages. Ensure devices are powered down or follow hot-plug guidelines of the equipment manufacturer when connecting live systems. Verify link status and speed on both endpoints after connection; network interfaces should negotiate and report 40 Gbit/s when supported. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius along the 2 m length to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m QSFP-to-QSFP AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth links inside racks or between adjacent racks. Confirm QSFP port compatibility and firmware or vendor compatibility lists before deployment. Store and route the cable to prevent kinks and keep it away from high-heat sources to maintain performance and longevity.
