QSFP+ breakout cable is a cost-effective solution for short connection in 40G data centre. As one of QSFP+ breakout cables, 40G QSFP+ to 8 LC AOC (Active Optical Cable) is a high performance, long reach interconnect solution supporting 40G Ethernet, low power consumption, Fibre Channel and PCIe. It is compliant with the IEEE P802.3ba 40GBASE-SR4 and QSFP MSA.
40G QSFP+ to 8 LC AOC offers IT professionals a cost-effective interconnect solution for merging 40G QSFP and 10G SFP+ enabled host adapters, switches and servers. It is a high data rate parallel active optical cable (AOC), to overcome the bandwidth limitation of traditional copper cable. The AOC offers 4 independent data transmission channels and 4 data receiving channels via the multimode ribbon fibres. Each capable is capable of transmitting data at rates up to 10Gb/s, providing an aggregated rate of 40Gb/s. QSFP+ Breakout Cables are suitable for short distances and offer a highly cost-effective way to connect within racks and across adjacent racks. These breakout cables connect to a 40G QSFP+ port of a switch on one end and to four 10G SFP+ transceivers of a switch on the other end. Consequently, an aggregate data rate of 40Gbps over 100 metres transmission can be achieved by this product, to support the ultra-fast computing data exchange. 
All of FS 40G QSFP to 8 LC AOC are 100% compatible with major brands like Cisco, HP, Juniper, Enterasys, Extreme, H3C and so on. If you would like to order high quality compatible 40GBASE QSFP to 8xLC AOC and get worldwide delivery, you are suggested to come here. FS 40G QSFP to 8xLC AOC opens EEPROM for customer re-coding for different applications.
