Know before you buy
Yes, this OptoSpan cable is pre-programmed and rigorously tested to ensure it is a direct, plug-and-play replacement for the Dell CBL-QSFP-40GE-1M.
Plenum-rated (CMP) means the cable jacket is constructed from materials that produce minimal smoke and flame if burned. This is a safety requirement for running cables through air-handling spaces, such as dropped ceilings or raised floors.
This cable is versatile and supports both 40G Ethernet and InfiniBand environments, making it suitable for high-performance computing and data center interconnects.
Unlike copper Direct Attach Cables, this AOC uses fiber optics to transmit data. This allows for a thinner, more flexible cable with a smaller bend radius, which makes cable management in dense server racks significantly easier.
No configuration is required. Because it is pre-programmed to match Dell specifications, it will be recognized by your equipment immediately upon connection.
