Product Overview

The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M= is a high-performance active optical breakout cable enabling seamless 40GBASE connectivity through a single QSFP connection that branches into four discrete SFP+ channels. With a length of 3 meters (10 feet), this orange-colored cable uses active signal regeneration to maintain reliable data integrity over short distances, making it an ideal solution for top-of-rack and mid-row deployments within high-density data centers.

Featuring compliance with SFF-8431/SFF-8436/SFF-8461 standards and designed to meet multiple regulatory criteria including RoHS, IEC 60825-1, FCC CFR21 Part 1040, and UL, the cable guarantees not only performance but also safety and environmental responsibility. This cable is optimized for compatibility across a broad portfolio of Cisco platforms, including but not limited to Cisco Catalyst 6800 Series, Nexus 92XX and 93XX families, and UCS C4200 Series. It has been engineered with robust materials suitable for operating temperatures ranging from 32 °F to 158 °F.

Whether used in enterprise environments or hyperscale networks, the cable's support for breakout architectures allows scalable, cost-efficient upgrades without overhauling infrastructure. Backed by a 90-day warranty, it provides Cisco-grade performance that facilitates rapid deployment of 10G connections from a 40G backbone while minimizing latency and power consumption.
