Overview of QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M
QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M is a QSFP transceiver that delivers 40G performance by utilizing four 10G channels in an active optical cable assembly design. It is engineered for short-range transmission up to 3 meters over multi-mode fiber, operating at an 850 nm wavelength to support high-speed Ethernet protocols in compact data center and enterprise network environments.
This transceiver’s QSFP form factor—with integrated QSFP connectors—ensures minimal footprint and high density in telecom and data center applications. Its design addresses critical use cases where reliable, cost-effective 40G interconnect solutions are required, making it an ideal choice for modern, high-performance network infrastructures.
QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M price is $227.00, a 82.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,298.00. QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

In a hyperscale data center migrating from 10G to 40G spine-and-leaf architecture, the 3m QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M-40GBASE Active Optical breakout cable splits a single 40G QSFP port into four independent 10G SFP+ links for top-of-rack switches. Benefit: maximizes port density, reduces switch inventory by 75%, and delivers aggregate 40G throughput with minimal power consumption.
High-performance computing clusters demand multiple parallel 10G links between compute nodes for data-intensive workloads. Deploying the 3m QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M-40GBASE Active Optical breakout cable provides four low-latency 10G channels from a single 40G port. Benefit: accelerates MPI traffic, simplifies cabling, cuts latency by up to 20%, and lowers thermal overhead.
In large enterprise campus networks, dozens of 10G edge switches require high-capacity uplinks to the 40G backbone. The 3m QSFP-4X10G-AOC3M-40GBASE breakout cable aggregates four 10G SFP+ uplinks into one 40G QSFP port on the core switch. Benefit: optimizes port utilization, reduces capital expense on line cards, and streamlines network management.
