Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M and what does it do?
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M is a 40GBASE active optical breakout cable that converts a single QSFP port into four 10G SFP connections over a 5-meter fiber optic span. This transceiver module enables high-speed data center connectivity by allowing organizations to split 40Gbps bandwidth into four 10Gbps lanes, making it ideal for flexible network configurations in warehouse and logistics environments.
What cable length does this QSFP breakout cable support?
The QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M provides a 5-meter (16.40 feet) active optical cable length, which is suitable for medium-distance connections within data centers and network closets. This length accommodates typical rack-to-rack deployments without requiring additional extenders or signal boosters.
Is the Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M compatible with my existing network equipment?
The QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M is designed for Cisco network devices that support QSFP ports and require 4x10G SFP breakout connectivity. We recommend verifying your specific switch or router model supports this breakout configuration before purchase. Contact us today to confirm compatibility with your existing infrastructure.
What are the advantages of active optical cables over copper alternatives?
Active optical cables (AOCs) like the QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M offer superior performance over longer distances with lower latency and electromagnetic interference compared to copper DACs. They provide better signal integrity for high-speed 40Gbps connections and generate less heat, making them ideal for dense data center environments where cable management and thermal control are critical.
Can I use this breakout cable for both data center and warehouse network deployments?
Yes, the QSFP-4X10G-AOC5M is suitable for data center, warehouse, and logistics network environments where 40Gbps-to-four-10Gbps conversion is needed. Its active optical design ensures reliable performance in various deployment scenarios, from inventory management systems to real-time tracking infrastructure.
