BlueOptics TP-Link QSFP-AOC-30M Compatible Active Optical Cable 30m (98.4ft) 40GbE QSFP+ MMF LSZH

The BlueOptics TP-Link QSFP-AOC-30M Compatible Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Designed to be fully compatible with TP-Link QSFP-AOC-30M ports, this cable integrates QSFP+ transceivers at both ends with a pre-terminated multi-mode fiber (MMF) link, providing a reliable and low-latency interconnect for data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This Active Optical Cable offers significant advantages over traditional copper cabling, including longer reach (30 meters), lighter weight, and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). It consumes less than 1.5W per end, making it energy-efficient, and its hot-swappable design simplifies installation and maintenance. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces.

Suitable for

• Data Center Interconnects (Top-of-Rack to End-of-Row)
• High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise network backbone connections
• 40G Ethernet and InfiniBand QDR/FDR applications
