Axiom

Axiom 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ Active Optical Cable 20m

SKU CH-EFSN-CG9CH

Splits a 40 Gbps QSFP+ port into four SFP+ links over a 20 m active optical cable

  • Works with every OEM switch and router
  • Fully MSA-compliant for interoperability
  • Pre-coded modules remove configuration errors
  • 20 m reach with 40 Gbps bandwidth

Break-out cable for 40 GbE to 10 GbE links

This Axiom active optical cable splits a single QSFP+ port into four SFP+ connectors, delivering 40 GbE aggregate bandwidth across 20 metres of fibre. It arrives pre-coded for OEM switch and router compatibility and meets Multi-Sourcing Agreement requirements, so it works in mixed-vendor environments without configuration conflicts.

Suits dense aggregation and uplinks

The break-out design lets one 40 GbE uplink serve four 10 GbE servers or top-of-rack switches, reducing port count and cabling bulk in the rack. Each SFP+ leg carries its own optical transceiver, so the assembly needs no external power or separate transceivers on the fan-out side.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum link length supported by this 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ breakout cable?

The active optical cable is built for a 20 m reach, allowing 40 GbE connectivity between a QSFP+ port and four 10 GbE SFP+ ports across that distance.

How much power does the cable assembly draw when all four 10 GbE channels are running continuously?

The module is fully compliant with the Multi-Sourcing Agreement, so its power consumption stays within the standard QSFP+ and SFP+ limits for active optical cables during sustained operation.
