The AddOn QSFP-8LC-AOC5M-AO is a Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4-S-compatible QSFP+ optical transceiver for 40GBase-SR4 links up to 5 m over multimode fiber, suited to network teams connecting compatible equipment with a 4xLC interface.
Recommended For
- Network administrators connecting one QSFP+ 40G port to four 10G LC-equipped endpoints in a rack or nearby cabinet, where a fixed 5 m active optical breakout fits the layout.
- Data-center teams aggregating four 10G links onto a 40G switch port, when the switch supports 4×10G breakout and the connected 10G ports support the required optical connection.
- IT teams replacing separate short optical runs with a single integrated breakout assembly between compatible equipment, provided the fixed cable length and connector arrangement suit the installation.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a 40G QSFP+ switch port needs to connect to four nearby servers with 10G SFP+ ports, this breakout cable provides four separate LC links over a short run, provided the switch supports and is configured for 4×10G breakout.
- In a data-center rack, a network operator can use one QSFP+ port to fan out to up to four 10G Ethernet links, helping connect multiple 10G devices without using four separate upstream QSFP+ ports.
- When upgrading an aggregation switch but keeping 10G switches or routers at the edge, the cable can link a breakout-configured 40G port to compatible 10G LC ports, allowing those endpoints to remain in use.
- For a short connection between nearby switches, servers, or routers, the 5-meter active optical cable offers an integrated 40G-to-four-LC breakout, avoiding the need to assemble a separate breakout harness and fiber patch cables.
