10m 40Gbps Active Optical Cable for HPC and Storage

This 10 metre QSFP+ active optical cable delivers 40Gbps throughput for data, storage and high-performance computing interconnects.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 40Gbps link is active after connecting the QSFP+ ends?

Check the switch or NIC port LEDs for a steady link light and verify the negotiated speed shows 40 Gbps in the management interface.

What comes with the cable and do I need separate transceivers?

The 10 m aqua active optical cable arrives as a single assembly with QSFP+ connectors on both ends; no separate transceivers are required.
