HPE 40G QSFP+ AOC 7m

The HPE 720205-B21 is a 7 metre active optical cable with QSFP+ connectors at both ends. It is rated for 40G connectivity and uses OM2 fibre for short-reach links inside BladeSystem environments. The assembly ships new in its retail packaging.

Suited for 40G BladeSystem links

This cable suits administrators wiring 40G QSFP+ ports within a single rack or adjacent racks where a 7 metre reach is sufficient. Buyers who need a longer reach, a different connector type, or passive copper instead of active optical should look at other options.
