CBO QSFP aktívny optický kábel MC2210310-010-BO 10 m konektor samec-samec 40 Gbit/s

The CBO QSFP Active Optical Cable MC2210310-010-BO 10 m Male-to-Male 40 Gbit/s is a factory-terminated QSFP AOC designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth interconnects. This 10-metre optical link supports 40 Gbit/s aggregated throughput and uses QSFP-to-QSFP male connectors to connect switches, servers and optical aggregation devices. The active optical design reduces electromagnetic interference and enables lower latency than comparable copper links while simplifying cable management in dense data centre environments.

Advantages

The cable provides high-speed 40 Gbit/s transmission over a 10 m reach with reduced EMI and heat generation compared with copper alternatives. Being an active optical cable, it delivers consistent signal integrity and low latency for short-reach links and eliminates the need for separate transceiver modules. The QSFP male-to-male terminations enable plug-and-play installation in compatible QSFP ports and help maintain compact, bend-friendly routing in server racks and switch clusters.

Suitable for

• High-density data centre top-of-rack and spine connections
• Server-to-switch interconnects requiring 40 Gbit/s bandwidth
• Short-reach aggregation links in enterprise and colocation environments
• Low-latency applications where reduced EMI is beneficial

Key specifications

• Connector type: QSFP male-to-male
• Length: 10 metres
• Maximum data rate: 40 Gbit/s aggregate
• Cable type: Active optical cable (AOC)
• Typical use: Short-reach interconnects in data centres and network racks

How to use

Identify compatible QSFP ports on the devices to be connected and ensure both systems support 40 Gbit/s QSFP AOC links. Align each QSFP male connector with the corresponding port and insert until it seats securely; do not force the connector. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of mechanical stress. No external transceivers or additional configuration are typically required; the link should be recognised by devices that support standard QSFP AOC connectivity. For troubleshooting, verify port configuration and link status indicators on connected equipment.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii within manufacturer guidelines, keep the cable free from kinks and avoid exposure to excessive heat or moisture. Use this 10 m QSFP AOC for short-reach, high-bandwidth links inside racks and between adjacent racks to benefit from low-latency and reduced EMI compared with copper solutions.
