Know before you buy
Plenum (CMP) rating indicates that the cable jacket is made from fire-retardant materials designed to produce minimal smoke and prevent fire spread. This is a critical safety requirement for installing cables in air-handling spaces, such as dropped ceilings or raised floors, in commercial buildings.
Yes, this cable is fully compliant with QSFP+ MSA standards. Because each unit is pre-programmed and tested, it is designed to be plug-and-play with standard QSFP+ ports found on most networking equipment.
Yes, this cable is engineered to support both 40G Ethernet and InfiniBand protocols, making it a versatile choice for high-performance data center environments.
No, this is an Active Optical Cable (AOC), meaning the transceivers are permanently integrated into the ends of the cable. You simply plug the QSFP+ connectors directly into your switches or servers.
This cable features a small bend radius, which makes it easier to route through crowded server racks and cable management systems without damaging the internal optical fibers.
The cable includes built-in digital diagnostics, allowing your network hardware to monitor real-time performance metrics such as signal strength and temperature to ensure a stable connection.
