Description
Introduction to the Optical Cable
The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC25M= is a 25-meter long direct attach copper cable that uses QSFP+ connectors on both ends. It is designed to provide a high-speed, reliable, and cost-effective solution for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices within a data center environment.
The QSFP-H40G-AOC25M= cable supports data transfer rates of up to 40Gbps and is compliant with the 40GBASE-CR4, 40GBASE-SR4, and 40GBASE-SR-BiDi standards. It is pre-configured with Cisco compatible QSFP+ transceivers and supports hot-swappable installation, making it easy to install and remove as needed.
The cable features active electrical components that help to amplify the signal and extend the reach of the connection, ensuring reliable performance over the full 25-meter length of the cable. The use of copper cabling also provides lower latency and power consumption compared to optical fiber cables, making it an ideal choice for short-distance data center interconnects.
The QSFP-H40G-AOC25M= cable is also fully compatible with Cisco switches and other networking equipment, ensuring seamless integration and hassle-free deployment. It comes with a limited lifetime warranty from Cisco, providing additional peace of mind and assurance of its quality and reliability.
Cable Length and Distance Support
The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC25M= is a 25-meter long, 40GBASE QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach cable (DAC) designed for high-speed data transmission between switches, routers, servers, and other network devices.
The cable supports a maximum data transfer rate of 40 Gbps and is compliant with the IEEE 802.3ba standard. It uses four parallel, multi-mode fibers with a wavelength of 850 nm to transmit data. The cable also incorporates active optical components that convert electrical signals to optical signals for transmission over longer distances than passive copper cables.
In terms of physical dimensions, the Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC25M= cable has a QSFP+ form factor with a length of 25 meters (82 feet). The QSFP+ connectors at each end of the cable are designed to support hot-swapping, which allows for the cable to be plugged and unplugged without shutting down the connected devices.
High-Speed Data Transmission
The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC25M= direct attach cable is designed for high-speed data transmission of up to 40Gbps over a distance of 25 meters. It uses QSFP+ connectors on both ends of the cable, which support a wide range of data center applications and networking equipment.
The cable is compliant with the 40GBASE-CR4, 40GBASE-SR4, and 40GBASE-SR-BiDi standards, which ensure reliable performance and compatibility with a variety of networking devices. The use of copper cabling also provides lower latency and power consumption compared to optical fiber cables, making it an ideal choice for short-distance data center interconnects.
The QSFP-H40G-AOC25M= cable features active electrical components that help to amplify the signal and extend the reach of the connection, ensuring reliable performance over the full 25-meter length of the cable. The active components also enable the cable to support a longer distance compared to passive cables.
In addition, the cable supports hot-swappable installation, making it easy to install and remove as needed without disrupting the rest of the network. It is also fully compatible with Cisco switches and other networking equipment, ensuring seamless integration and hassle-free deployment.
