In hyperscale data centers, network architects deploy the QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M 40GBASE Active Optical QSFP-to-4SFP breakout cable (7 m) to aggregate four 10GbE server ports onto a single 40GbE switch uplink. This reduces cable density by 75%, streamlines rack layout, and maintains full 40 Gbps throughput. Outcome: maximized rack utilization, simplified management, and consistent low-latency connectivity for east-west traffic.
Cloud service providers leverage the QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M cable to deliver four independent 10G SFP+ uplinks from one 40GBASE QSFP+ port on virtualized hyperconverged switches. Deployed over 7 m, it enables dynamic VM migration, granular tenant isolation, and elastic bandwidth scaling without additional optics. Outcome: faster service onboarding, reduced capital expense, and improved SLA compliance in multi-tenant racks.
Research institutions connect GPU-accelerated nodes using the QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M Active Optical breakout cable to split a 40GbE fabric into four 10 GbE links, optimizing traffic flows for distributed training and parallel data processing. The 7 m reach fits dense rack layouts, eliminating fan-out modules. Outcome: enhanced inter-node bandwidth, lower latency jitter, and simplified cabling for scalable AI/ML cluster deployments.

7m breakout cable delivers consistent 10G connectivity across all channels.
Easy to route and manage in racks.
Stable performance with no interruptions.
Well-suited for medium-length aggregation links.
Durable and reliable for enterprise deployments.
The QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M is a 40GBASE active optical breakout cable converting a single QSFP+ port into four 10G SFP+ ports over a 7 m OM3 fiber link.
This breakout cable is interoperable with any QSFP+ and SFP+ compliant switches, routers, and network interface cards following the MSA standard.
Each of the four SFP+ channels supports up to 10 Gbps, while the QSFP+ port aggregates 40 Gbps total bandwidth.
The QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M has an overall cable length of 7 meters between the QSFP+ and the four SFP+ breakout ends.
It utilizes OM3 multimode fiber optimized for 40GBASE and 10GBASE short-reach applications up to 7 m.
Yes, the QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M supports hot-plug installation and removal without powering down connected equipment.
The cable draws less than 1 W total, offering energy-efficient performance for high-density data centers.
The recommended minimum bend radius for reliable operation is 30 mm to prevent signal degradation.
Absolutely. It’s designed for data center spine-leaf architectures, server aggregation, and high-performance computing clusters.
Yes, forward error correction (FEC) is supported on each 10G channel when enabled by the host system.
The cable is rated for 0 °C to 70 °C (32 °F to 158 °F) operating temperature suitable for most indoor data center environments.
Align and insert the QSFP+ end into a QSFP+ port, then connect each SFP+ end to the respective SFP+ ports. No tools or software drivers are required.
The QSFP-4X10G-AOC7M includes a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and performance compliance.
It features a QSFP+ (Quad SFP+) transceiver on one end and four SFP+ transceivers on the other end.
No, all four channels share the same 7 m length with identical optical performance specifications.
By eliminating separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, it streamlines installation, reduces rack space, and lowers material costs.
