Black Box QSFP-H40G-AOCXM-BB Series 40GBase-AOC direct attach cable - 15 m - aqua

Connect 40Gbps Cisco Switches, Routers and Servers, as well as other MSA Compliant Equipment in Ethernet networking applications. Cisco Compatible Active Optical Cable (AOC) Connects Network Equipment at Speeds up to 40 Gbps Black Box QSFP+ Active Optical Cables provide premium error-free performance for data storage and high-performance computing (HPC) interconnectivity. 100 compatible to Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC10M= and other lengths you can rest assured when making connections amongst your Cisco switches routers and servers. Constructed for full compliance with the QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) and SFF-8436 industry standards you can also make connections amongst your non-Cisco non-proprietary 40Gb networking equipment. Programmed tested and serialized to ensure compliance and functionality Black Box Active Optical Cables are the ideal solution for 40Gb Ethernet Infiniband QDR 4G/8G/10G Fiber Channel applications and more. Ultra-Thin and Light Design Ideal for High-Density High-Bandwidth Applications Active Optical Cables are an ultra-thin and light solution making them perfect for use in today's increasingly high-density applications where they take up less space and put less stress on equipment. The increase in space leads to increased airflow saving you money on cooling overheated equipment. Also optical technology provides significantly higher bandwidth than direct attach copper allowing for ultra-fast data transmission at long distances while copper DAC solutions start to experience excessive bit error rates over 5m. All-in-One Solution Makes for Simple Connections with Low Latency With an all-in-one hot-swappable cable design active optical cables provide you with an easy to connect solution that doesn't require purchasing multiple transceivers and cabling. The lack of additional connection points also means lower latency so you can be confident of your data integrity. Hot-swappability makes upgrades and equipment replacements a breeze minimizing downtime to your network connectivity. In addition AOC's provide a low power solution (less than 2.5W) that is essential in today's high data rate applications. Minimal EMI Profile Active Optical Cables (AOC) feature a minimal EMI/RFI profile due to their fiber optic construction. This superior resistance to EMI/RFI ensures data integrity which is essential in today's ultra-high density applications that cannot tolerate any signal downtime or interruption. And as security concerns continue to grow fiber is well suited to preventing tapping of your data.
