Know before you buy
A plenum rating (CMP) indicates that the cable jacket is made from fire-retardant materials designed to minimize smoke and toxic fumes. This is a requirement for installing cables in the air-handling spaces above drop ceilings or below raised floors in data centers.
Yes, this cable is pre-programmed and rigorously tested to meet Avago AFBR-7QER10Z standards. It is designed to be fully interoperable with your existing Avago infrastructure and QSFP+ MSA-compliant ports.
Yes, this cable is engineered to support both 40G Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols. It provides reliable, high-speed connectivity across four independent channels regardless of the specific network environment.
Integrated digital diagnostic monitoring allows you to track real-time performance metrics, such as optical power levels and temperature. This helps you proactively identify potential connection issues before they cause network downtime.
The cable features a compact bend radius, making it easier to route through high-density racks and tight spaces without damaging the internal optical fibers. Its round shape also helps maintain a clean, organized cable management setup.
As an Active Optical Cable (AOC), it draws a small amount of power directly from the QSFP+ ports on your equipment. It is designed for low power consumption per lane, ensuring it remains efficient even in high-density deployments.
