FAQs

What is the data transfer speed of the AddOn 40GBase-AOC QSFP+ Fiber Optic Network Cable?
The AddOn 40GBase-AOC QSFP+ Fiber Optic Network Cable supports a data transfer rate of 40 Gbps (40 Gigabits per second), making it ideal for high-speed network connections and data center applications. This speed capability ensures efficient data transmission for demanding network environments.
What is the length of this fiber optic cable?
This fiber optic cable is 15 meters (49.21 feet) in length. The cable operates at 850nm over multi-mode fiber, providing sufficient reach for many data center and network infrastructure configurations while maintaining optimal signal integrity.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
This cable features QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) connectors on both ends. It's a QSFP+ to QSFP+ configuration, designed for network device connectivity and is compatible with Arista and other network equipment that supports 40GBase-AOC QSFP+ interfaces.
Is this an active or passive optical cable?
This is an Active Optical Cable (AOC), which means it includes built-in signal processing capabilities. The active components help maintain signal integrity over the cable length and ensure reliable 40Gbps data transmission. Active optical cables are ideal for longer distances and high-speed applications.
