The Asterfusion 40G QSFP+ to 4x 10G SFP+ breakout Active Optical Cables (AOCs) provide a cost-effective solution for integrating 40G QSFP+ and 10G SFP+ enabled host adapters, switches, and servers. These cables allow users to connect a QSFP+ port on a 40GE switch to up to 4 upstream SFP+ enabled 10GE switches. Each cable features a SFF-8436 compliant QSFP+ connector (rated for 41.2Gb/s) on one end and 4 SFF-8431 compliant SFP+ connectors (rated for 10.3Gb/s each) on the other end.

FAQ

What is a 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ AOC cable?
Active Optical cable (AOC) is designed for high-speed transmission. Each end features four SFP+ connectors and one QSFP+ connector. By utilizing fiber optics, it divides 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) signals into four individual 10GbE channels.
Why use a 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ AOC?
They are upgrading to a 40GbE backbone while using existing 10GbE infrastructure. Reduced cable clutter with one AOC cable to replace four 10GbE cables. Fiber optics eliminate signal loss and ensure error-free data transport.

What data rates does this AOC line support?
This AOC cable supports 40Gbps QSFP+ data rates and then splits data into four individual 10Gbps channels on SFP+.

What can this 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ AOC accomplish?
Maintain compatibility with 10GbE equipment while upgrading to 40GbE. Connect multiple 10GbE servers or storage devices to 40GbE switches. Simple rack wiring makes it easier to manage.

Do I need any additional configuration for this AOC?
No, this AOC is normally plug-and-play and requires no special configuration.
