The CISCO QSFP-H40G-AOC3M is a 3-meter active optical cable (AOC) designed to deliver high-density 40-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Built with the revolutionary Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) technology, this cable provides a high-speed, energy-efficient link between QSFP ports of Cisco switches, routers, and servers. The AOC technology embedded within the cable integrates transceiver electronics and a fiber optic cable, thereby offering a plug-and-play solution that enhances signal integrity, reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), and increases the distance over which data can be transmitted compared to passive cables. This is particularly beneficial in densely populated networking environments like data centers, where space and power efficiency are critical. With its extended length of 3 meters, the QSFP-H40G-AOC3M offers greater flexibility in physical network configurations, facilitating optimized rack placements and simplifying cable management. This product is designed for network administrators who demand high-performance, reliable, and scalable optical connectivity solutions.
