Blue Cable Co 40GbE QSFP+ active optical cables (AOC) deliver reliable 40Gb/s connectivity between QSFP+ ports over multi-mode fibre, compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox platforms. Unlike passive DAC cables, AOCs integrate VCSEL-based optical transceivers directly into the QSFP+ connectors at each end, enabling much longer reaches than copper while remaining hot-pluggable and plug-and-play. Available in lengths from 3m to 30m, these cables are plenum rated (OFNP) and suited to data centre deployments where reach, cable management, or fire rating requirements rule out passive copper.
