Active Optical Cable QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ 10 m DeLOCK 84073

Active Optical Cable QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ 10 m by DELOCK (model 84073) is a 10 metre high-speed optical breakout cable for connecting a QSFP+ port to four SFP+ ports. Designed for data centre and enterprise networking use, the cable supports aggregated data rates up to 40 Gbps and provides a compact, lightweight alternative to copper breakout solutions.

Advantages

The DELOCK QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ active optical cable delivers high data throughput with low signal loss over a 10 m distance. Its optical construction reduces electromagnetic interference and heat compared with copper cables, and the cable’s flexibility and lightweight design simplify routing in dense rack environments. The robust connectors and assembly ensure stable long-term performance suitable for continuous operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting a server or network card with a QSFP+ port to four SFP+ ports on a switch
• Breaking out a 40 Gbps QSFP+ link into four independent 10 Gbps SFP+ links
• High-density rack cabling in data centres and server rooms

How to use

Insert the QSFP+ connector into the QSFP+ port of the source device and plug each SFP+ connector into the corresponding SFP+ ports on the target switch or device. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that devices are powered down or ports are administratively disabled when installing or removing the cable if required by your equipment’s hot‑plug policy. Verify link status after connection and configure link aggregation or port settings on the devices as needed.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight cable ties; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment vendor. Use this active optical cable in environments compatible with optical transceivers and follow your network equipment vendor’s guidelines for QSFP+ and SFP+ port configuration.
