Axiom AXG95688 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ fibre optic cable 7m

SKU CH-2PMZ-GHYYM MPN AXG95688

A 40 Gbps active optical cable splits one QSFP+ port into four SFP+ links over seven metres

  • 40 Gbps breakout links four 10 Gbps ports from one QSFP+ module
  • Seven-metre active optical reach removes copper length limits in racks
  • Pre-coded for Cisco gear so the link trains without manual intervention
  • MSA-compliant construction works in any multi-vendor switch fabric
  • Unique serialisation on each end prevents address conflicts during bring-up

40G active optical breakout cable for 10G links

The Axiom AXG95688 splits a single 40G QSFP+ port into four independent 10G SFP+ connections over a seven-metre fibre run. It targets network engineers who need to uplink 10G switches or servers from a 40G aggregation layer without deploying separate transceivers and patch cords.

Sustained 40G throughput across four lanes

Each lane carries 10G continuously, so the assembly delivers full 40G aggregate bandwidth under constant load rather than only in short bursts. The active optical design maintains signal integrity over the full length without the power draw or heat of copper direct-attach alternatives.

MSA-compliant connectors with TAA qualification

QSFP+ and SFP+ ends follow the multi-sourcing agreement, ensuring they seat correctly in any MSA-compliant switch or router port. TAA compliance and unique serialisation simplify inventory tracking and meet government procurement requirements.

Questions about this item

Does the 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ active optical cable generate noticeable heat or noise when running continuously?

The cable uses passive fibre optics with no fans or moving parts, so it produces no audible noise and negligible heat during all-day operation.

What equipment must I already have for the AXG95688 to function in my network?

You need a switch or router with a QSFP+ port that accepts 40GBASE-AOC breakout cables and four SFP+ ports on the opposite end, each configured for 10 Gbps links.

Will this 7 m breakout cable work alongside my existing 10 GbE SFP+ modules and older QSFP+ switches?

Yes, the MSA-compliant design lets the QSFP+ end plug into legacy 40 GbE ports while the four SFP+ ends connect to existing 10 GbE transceivers without configuration changes.
