40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Breakout AOC Cable: High-Density Migration Solution
The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Breakout Active Optical Cable (AOC) is a high-performance, cost-effective interconnect solution for migrating from 40G switches to 10G servers. Leveraging OM3/OM4 multimode fiber technology, this 5-meter breakout cable provides a plug-and-play alternative to transceivers and patch cords, ensuring zero latency issues and a lower power consumption profile (< 1.5W per 40G end).

Why Choose Op2Link AOC?
1. Seamless 40G to 10G Split Logic
The QSFP+ end integrates 4 independent channels, each operating at 10.3125Gbps. Our breakout AOC uses high-quality VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) arrays at 850nm.
2. Overcoming Installation Pain Points
Congested Racks: Unlike bulky copper DACs, our 3.0mm diameter LSZH/OFNP jacket allows for tighter bends and better airflow in high-density TOR (Top of Rack) environments.
Compatibility Assurance: Each cable is coded in-house to be 100% compatible with Cisco, Juniper, H3C, Huawei, Alcatel, Allied Telesis, Zyxel, Brocade, Mikrotik, Extreme, Blade, D-linnk Netgear, Finisar, ZTE, Linksys, SMC, Ruijie, Avaya, 3com, Enterasys, Redeback, Planet etc. , preventing “Unrecognized Transceiver” errors during deployment.
40G QSFP+ Breakout AOC vs 40G QSFP+ Breakout DAC (Copper)
As a veteran in fiber optics, I always tell clients: “Don’t just look at the length; look at the EEPROM compatibility and power efficiency.”
| Feature | 40G QSFP+ Breakout AOC (5m) | 40G QSFP+ Breakout DAC (Copper) |
| Transmission Distance | Up to 100m (Customizable) | Typically limited to 7m |
| Weight & Flexibility | Lightweight, Small Bend Radius | Heavy, Rigid, Airflow Obstruction |
| Power Consumption | < 1.5W (QSFP+), < 1W (SFP+) | Near Zero (but high heat at port) |
| EMI Immunity | Excellent (Non-conductive) | Susceptible to interference |
