Network Cable BlueOptics QSFP-40G-D-AOC-10M-BO QSFP QSFP 40G 10m Orange

The BlueOptics QSFP-40G-D-AOC-10M-BO is a 10 m active optical cable with QSFP connectors on both ends designed for 40G links in data center and high-speed networking environments. This male-to-male cable uses multi-mode optic transmission with integrated transmitter and receiver modules in each connector to support 40G data rates over a 10 metre distance. The cable's orange jacket and compact QSFP terminations make it easy to route and identify in dense cabling installations while keeping a low weight for flexible deployment.

Advantages

The cable provides plug-and-play connectivity for 40G-capable QSFP ports without separate transceivers, simplifying installation and reducing connector count. Built-in optical conversion at each end ensures signal integrity across the 10 m link, and the standardized QSFP form factor follows MSA-compatible mechanical and electrical interfaces for broad equipment compatibility. Its orange colour improves visual identification in rack and patch environments.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each QSFP connector into the corresponding 40G-capable QSFP port on networking equipment, ensuring proper orientation and a secure mechanical latch. No external transceivers are required; the cable's active modules handle optical-electrical conversion. After connection, verify link status and speed on the devices' management interfaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment vendor.

Recommendations

Use this 10 m BlueOptics QSFP AOC for short-range 40G links within racks and across adjacent racks. Keep the cable free from kinks, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, and label both ends in multi-cable installations to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
