The Black Box QSFP-H40G-AOC3M-BB is a 40 Gbps Active Optical Cable (AOC) designed for high-speed connectivity in data centers, enterprise networks, and HPC environments. With QSFP+ connectors on both ends and a 3 m fiber length, it provides simple plug-and-play operation for 40G Ethernet links without separate transceivers.
As a genuine Black Box interconnect solution, this AOC ensures reliable performance, low latency, and reduced EMI compared to copper DACs. Its lightweight, flexible design makes it ideal for short-to-mid rack interconnects with consistent throughput and energy efficiency.
This active Optical Cable transmits 40GbE signals via multimode fiber and includes the embedded electronics for signal integrity. Hot-pluggable QSFP+ connectors allow fast deployment with switch, router, or server ports. It delivers high bandwidth with low power consumption.
The QSFP-H40G-AOC3M-BB is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ba 40GBASE standards. Immune to EMI/RFI interference, it is perfect for dense IT environments. No need for patch cords or separate optics — this AOC integrates optics and cabling into one streamlined solution.
The Black Box QSFP-H40G-AOC3M-BB provides stable, high-throughput performance for mission-critical links. Its integrated optical/electronics assembly reduces signal loss and provides reliable bandwidth in demanding data center environments. Built with enterprise-grade materials, it supports continuous, efficient operation 24/7.
