40G QSFP+ AOC Cables

High-Performance Connectivity with Flexible Options

Overview

The 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC) family provides a reliable, energy-efficient, and easy-to-deploy solution for high-speed networking. Designed for short-to-medium distance connections in modern data centers and enterprise networks, these cables integrate optical transceivers and multimode fiber into a single assembly.

This eliminates the need for separate optics and patch cords while delivering low latency, simplified cabling, and consistent performance.

Available in standard lengths up to 30 m (98 ft) and custom builds up to 100 m (328 ft), NS 40G AOCs are ideal for switch-to-switch interconnects, server uplinks, and breakout scenarios in high-density environments.

Broad Compatibility

NS 40G AOCs are tested for universal interoperability with leading network platforms, including:
Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, Arista, NVIDIA/Mellanox, Intel, Dell, Extreme, HPE Aruba, Fortinet, and others.

With this wide compatibility, NS AOCs integrate seamlessly across diverse infrastructures, ensuring flexibility and vendor neutrality.
