Black Box QSFP-H40G-AOC5M-BB Fiber Optic Network Cable for 40Gbps Ethernet and High-Performance Computing

The Black Box QSFP-H40G-AOC5M-BB fiber optic network cable offers a reliable and high-speed solution for connecting network equipment in data centers, enterprise environments, and high-performance computing setups. Designed to support speeds up to 40Gbps, this active optical cable (AOC) provides error-free data transmission over longer distances, making it ideal for demanding applications such as 40Gb Ethernet, Infiniband QDR, and 4G/8G/10G Fiber Channel. Its compatibility with Cisco QSFP-H40G-AOC10M= and adherence to industry standards like QSFP+ MSA and SFF-8436 ensure seamless integration with a broad range of networking hardware, whether proprietary or non-proprietary. Constructed for full compliance and tested for performance, this cable guarantees reliable connectivity in mission-critical environments.

Its ultra-thin and lightweight design makes it suitable for high-density rack deployments, reducing strain on ports and improving airflow for better cooling. By utilizing optical technology over traditional copper solutions, it supports higher bandwidth transmission with minimal bit error rates, even over extended distances where copper cables typically fail. This enables organizations to extend their network reach without sacrificing performance or stability. The cable's low power consumption—less than 25W—further reduces operational costs and environmental impact, aligning with eco-friendly standards like RoHS.

The integration of optics within the cable simplifies installation and maintenance by eliminating separate transceivers and cables, resulting in fewer connection points and lower latency. Its fiber optic construction provides excellent resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring signal integrity in high-density and sensitive environments. Additionally, fiber optics offer inherent security advantages, as they are more difficult to tap into compared to copper cables, safeguarding your data from physical breaches. Whether for point-to-point, intra-rack, or rack-to-rack connections, this cable delivers performance, reliability, and security for critical network infrastructure.
