QSFP-H40G-AOC3M-RF
40GBASE Active Optical Cable, 3m REMANUFACTURED
Inventory quantities are subject to availability and are not guaranteed until the order is placed.
The Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC3M-RF is a professionally remanufactured 40GBASE Active Optical Cable assembly designed for ultra-low latency, high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in data center environments. This 3-meter QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct-attach cable provides 40 Gbps throughput using active optical technology that converts electrical signals to optical at each end, offering superior performance over copper alternatives. The AOC design eliminates electromagnetic interference concerns, reduces power consumption compared to traditional optical transceivers with fiber, and enables flexible cable routing in tight rack spaces without signal degradation.
This remanufactured cable assembly has been thoroughly tested and certified to meet Cisco's quality standards. Each unit undergoes comprehensive testing including optical power measurement, bit error rate testing, temperature cycling, and interoperability validation with Cisco switches and routers. The hot-pluggable QSFP+ connectors ensure reliable connections to Nexus, Catalyst, and other 40GbE platforms. Active optical technology provides immunity to EMI/RFI interference while maintaining low power consumption (<1.5W typical). The flexible, lightweight cable design simplifies installation in dense rack environments. Compatible with Cisco Nexus 3000/5000/6000/7000/9000 Series, Catalyst 6500-E, ASR 9000, and other QSFP+-enabled platforms. Three-year warranty with advance replacement support.
