Active Optical Cable QSFP+ DeLOCK 84042 3 m Male/Male

The Active Optical Cable QSFP+ DeLOCK 84042 3 m Male/Male is a 3‑metre QSFP+ AOC with male connectors on both ends designed to connect devices to a QSFP+ switch or link two Ethernet switches. It provides high‑speed data transmission suitable for data centre and server room environments and offers longer reach than equivalent copper QSFP+ cables while keeping low latency and signal integrity.

Advantages

This DeLOCK QSFP+ active optical cable supports high bandwidth and reliable performance over a 3 m distance, reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference compared with copper cables, and maintains QSFP+ form‑factor compatibility for direct insertion into QSFP+ ports. The male/male configuration simplifies direct device‑to‑switch and switch‑to‑switch connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers to a QSFP+ switch
• Linking two Ethernet switches with QSFP+ ports
• High‑bandwidth interconnects in data centres and server rooms

How to use

Ensure both devices have compatible QSFP+ ports and are powered off or follow hot‑plug guidelines of your equipment. Align the QSFP+ male connector with the port and insert until it seats securely. For removal, press the connector release (if present) and pull straight out. Avoid bending the cable sharply near connectors and route it to prevent stress on the ports.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its specified 3 m length, avoid tight bends and kinks, and install in an environment free of excessive heat or mechanical strain. Verify device compatibility with QSFP+ AOCs and consult switch or server documentation for any firmware or port configuration requirements.
