Lenovo 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable

This Lenovo cable is a 40G QSFP+ active optical cable built for short-reach, high-speed network links. It uses QSFP+ connectors on both ends and measures 3.28 ft in length. The active optical design supports reliable signal integrity across the full run.

Suited for 40G QSFP+ ports in data-centre racks

Network teams connecting switches, servers or storage at 40 Gbps over a one-metre span will find this cable fits the port and distance. Buyers who need longer reach, different connector types or passive copper alternatives should look at other cable types.

Questions about this item

Will this 40G QSFP+ active optical cable work with my existing 40G QSFP+ switch ports?

Yes, the cable uses standard QSFP+ connectors on both ends and is designed for 40G links, so it will plug directly into compatible 40G QSFP+ ports on your existing switches or NICs.

How can I verify the 3.28 ft active optical cable is functioning correctly after installation?

Check the link status LEDs on both connected devices; a solid green or amber light indicates an established 40G connection, and you can confirm full throughput with a standard network diagnostic tool.

Does the Lenovo 40G QSFP+ active optical cable ship with any transceivers or mounting hardware, or must I buy them separately?

The cable integrates the optical transceivers permanently into each QSFP+ end, so no separate modules are required; the package contains only the 3.28 ft cable itself.
