Axiom 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ 7 m Cable

This Axiom QSFP-H40G-AOC7M-AX is a 7 m active optical cable built for 40GBASE-AOC links. It carries a QSFP+ form factor and weighs 0.33 lb. The cable is pre-coded for direct compatibility with listed Cisco Nexus and Catalyst platforms and functions with other brands in the same network.

Suits Cisco 40G QSFP+ uplink ports.

Network engineers connecting Cisco Nexus 9300, 3132, 3172, 3264, 56128, 6001, 6004 or 7000 M2-series 40G QSFP+ uplinks will find this cable a drop-in fit. It is not for links that require 100 Gb throughput, for breakout into multiple lower-rate lanes, or for equipment that does not accept a native QSFP+ 40G module.

Deciding spec: 7 m reach at 40 Gb

The single specification that decides fit is the 7 m length at 40 Gb line rate. If the patch distance exceeds 7 m, or if the port speed is not 40 Gb, this cable will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

Will the 7 m active optical cable work with the 40 Gb QSFP+ uplink module on a Nexus 9300 switch?

The cable is pre-configured with the application-specific code required by the Nexus 9300 40 Gb QSFP+ uplink module, so it will perform identically to the original cable.

How can I confirm the 7 m QSFP+ AOC is operating at 40 Gbps after installation?

Check the switch port status for a 40 Gbps link speed and zero CRC errors; the active optical cable reports its length and vendor code through the standard QSFP+ diagnostic interface.

Does the 7 m active optical cable ship with any extra adapters or mounting hardware?

The box contains only the 7 m QSFP+ active optical cable weighing 0.33 lb; no additional adapters, transceivers or mounting brackets are included.
