BLUEOPTICS Compatible TP-Link QSFP-AOC-3M QSFP Active Optical Cable (AOC), 40GBASE-SR4, 3m, Black

The BLUEOPTICS QSFP-AOC-3M-TL-BO is a high-performance Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for seamless compatibility with TP-Link QSFP+ ports. It delivers 40 Gbps data rates over a 3-meter multi-mode fiber link, ideal for data center interconnects, high-performance computing, and enterprise networks. This cable is MSA compliant and supports 40GBASE-SR4 standard, ensuring reliable, low-latency connectivity.

Advantages

This AOC offers significant advantages over traditional copper cables: longer reach, lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. With hot-pluggable QSFP+ connectors and low power consumption (<1.5W per end), it reduces energy costs and simplifies cable management. The 850 nm wavelength and full-duplex operation ensure optimal performance for demanding applications.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (Top-of-Rack to End-of-Row)
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise network backbone links
• Infiniband FDR/QDR environments
• 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks
