By deploying the QSFP-4X10G-AOC1M-40GBASE Active Optical QSFP to 4SFP breakout Cable, 1m, data center operators convert a single 40G QSFP+ port on a top-of-rack switch into four independent 10G SFP+ server links. This configuration maximizes port utilization, reduces the need for additional 10G switches, and optimizes rack density, resulting in up to 25% lower CAPEX and streamlined cabling management.
Enterprises upgrading to a 40G backbone can leverage the QSFP-4X10G-AOC1M-40GBASE Active Optical QSFP to 4SFP breakout Cable, 1m to connect existing 10G server NICs directly to new 40G QSFP+ ports. This approach preserves legacy hardware investments, avoids expensive forklift upgrades, and minimizes downtime, delivering rapid ROI and a seamless migration path.
Research and HPC environments use the QSFP-4X10G-AOC1M-40GBASE Active Optical QSFP to 4SFP breakout Cable, 1m to split a 40G interswitch link into four low-latency 10G channels for blade servers. The result is granular traffic segmentation, improved throughput by up to 40%, and simplified network topologies that accelerate compute workflows and enhance overall cluster performance.

1m QSFP to 4xSFP AOC splitter cable is compact and reliable for short-distance deployments.
Maintains consistent 10G performance across all breakout ports.
Easy to install and manage in dense rack environments.
Professional-grade quality ensures low latency and minimal interference.
Well-built splitter cable that performs reliably under load.
The QSFP-4X10G-AOC1M is a 1-meter 40GBASE active optical cable that breaks out a QSFP+ port into four independent 10G SFP+ links for high-density data center interconnects.
It features a QSFP+ male connector on one end and four SFP+ female connectors on the other end for seamless 40G to 4×10G breakout connectivity.
This cable is ideal for data-center switch-to-switch links, server aggregation, storage area networks (SAN), and high-performance computing clusters requiring cost-effective 40G to 10G breakout.
The 1 m active optical cable reliably supports 40GBASE breakout transmission over 1 meter in multimode fiber environments with low insertion loss.
Yes, it is fully hot-pluggable, allowing live insertion and removal without disrupting system operation or requiring a shutdown.
It delivers an aggregate 40 Gbps bandwidth split into four independent 10 Gbps channels for flexible traffic distribution.
Typical power consumption is under 1.5 W per cable, minimizing heat dissipation and energy costs in dense deployments.
Yes, it is vendor-neutral and fully compatible with Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Dell, HP and most QSFP+ and SFP+ port-equipped switches and servers.
The cable operates reliably between 0 °C and 70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F), suitable for standard data center environments.
By breaking out a single 40G link into four 10G links, it maximizes port utilization, reduces cabling complexity, and lowers total cost of ownership.
No additional transceivers or modules are required; the active optical cable integrates all necessary optics for plug-and-play operation.
Align the QSFP+ connector with the switch port, insert until it clicks, then connect each SFP+ connector to the target ports; the link will auto-negotiate.
This cable includes a standard one-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Yes, it supports lossless 40G fabrics and RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE), enabling non-blocking, low-latency data center architectures.
Unlike direct-attach copper (DAC), an active optical cable uses integrated optics and laser drivers for longer reach, lower power, and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
No software configuration is required; the cable is plug-and-play and auto-negotiates 40G/10G speeds with compatible hardware.
Yes, it uses multimode fiber optics optimized for OM3/OM4 to support high-bandwidth, short-reach 40GBASE breakout links.
