Description
The AOCQP40-003 is an active optical cable designed for use in 40Gigabit Ethernet links. They are electrically compliant and
mechanically compliant with the QSFP+ MSA. The AOCQP40-003 allows for greater link length than direct attach cables, with
a lower total power consumption than transceiver solutions.
