The HPE 40GbE QSFP+ to 4x10GbE SFP+ 5m AOC is an active optical direct attach breakout cable designed for high-density networking. It splits a single 40GbE QSFP+ port into four 10GbE SFP+ connections over a 5-metre fibre optic run, making it ideal for connecting switches, routers, and servers in modern enterprise data centres.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HPE 40GbE QSFP+ to 4x10GbE SFP+ 5m AOC used for?
- This breakout cable connects a single 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ port on a switch directly to four separate 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports on servers or switches. It enables efficient aggregation and integration between 10GbE and 40GbE network tiers.
What is the benefit of an active optical cable (AOC)?
- Active optical cables utilise fibre optic technology with integrated transceivers for data transmission. This design provides lighter weight, enhanced flexibility, and immunity to electromagnetic interference across longer rack-to-rack runs such as 5 metres.
Does this cable come with a warranty in South Africa?
- Yes, this HPE cable comes with a local South African warranty when purchased through Server Hub. Local support ensures prompt assistance and reliable hardware replacement if needed.
