The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= is a 30-meter, QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) active optical cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 40Gbps. The cable consists of four optical fibers, each capable of transmitting data at up to 10Gbps, and it uses a standard QSFP+ connector for compatibility with various networking equipment.
Compatible devices:
The QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable is compatible with a range of networking equipment that supports QSFP+ interfaces, including:
- Cisco Nexus switches
- Cisco Catalyst switches
- Cisco UCS servers
- Other devices that support QSFP+ interfaces
Applications:
The QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable is ideal for a wide range of applications, including:
- Data center interconnects: The cable is suitable for connecting switches and servers in data centers, providing fast, reliable data transmission over a distance of up to 30 meters.
- High-speed networking: The cable is ideal for high-bandwidth applications, such as video streaming, cloud computing, and big data analytics, where fast data transfer rates are essential.
- Storage area networks: The cable can be used to connect storage devices in SANs (Storage Area Networks), providing high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices.
The QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= is a 30-meter long Cisco QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) that is designed to provide high-speed connectivity between networking devices such as switches, routers, and servers. AOCs are an alternative to traditional copper or fiber optic cables and offer several advantages, including flexibility and ease of installation.
The QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable is highly flexible, which makes it easy to route and install in tight spaces. It is also much lighter than traditional copper or fiber optic cables, which makes it easier to handle during installation.
One of the biggest advantages of using an AOC like the QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= is the ease of installation. Unlike traditional fiber optic cables, which require skilled technicians and specialized tools for termination and splicing, AOCs are "plug-and-play." This means that the QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable can be easily connected to a QSFP+ port on a switch or router without any additional setup or configuration.
Additionally, the QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable is an active cable, meaning that it contains active electronics that boost the signal and provide reliable transmission over longer distances. This eliminates the need for expensive signal repeaters or other equipment that would be required for traditional fiber optic cabling.
Cost Analysis and ROI ConsiderationsThe QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= Cisco 30M QSFP+ Active Optical Cable is a high-speed networking cable that connects devices with QSFP+ ports, such as switches, routers, and servers, over a distance of up to 30 meters. When considering the cost and ROI considerations of this cable, the following factors should be taken into account:
- Cost of the cable: The cost of the QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable can vary depending on the vendor and quantity purchased. It is important to shop around and compare prices to ensure you are getting a fair price.
- Performance benefits: The QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable offers high-speed connectivity between devices, allowing for faster data transfer and reduced latency. This can result in improved application performance and productivity, which can translate into tangible ROI benefits.
- Longevity: The lifespan of the cable should also be considered when evaluating its ROI. The QSFP-H40G-AOC30M= cable is designed for high durability and long-term use, which can save money in the long run by reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Compatibility: It is important to ensure that the cable is compatible with the devices and equipment it will be used with. Incompatible cables can cause connection issues and result in downtime, which can be costly.
- Maintenance costs: The maintenance costs associated with the cable should also be taken into account. Regular cleaning and inspection can help prolong the lifespan of the cable and prevent connectivity issues.
