PRODUCT PRESENTATION

The PHILISUN QSFP+(40G) Active Optical Cable is a direct-attach fiber assembly utilizing QSFP+ connectors and the Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) scheme. The product complies with the SFF-8436 MSA standard and is suitable for 40Gbps connections within racks and across adjacent racks. It uses OM3 Multimode Fiber. Its compact structure and fully sealed integrated optics reduce costs compared to conventional optical modules and jumpers, while significantly improving reliability and reducing maintenance. This AOC guarantees broad compatibility with major vendor platforms including Cisco, H3C, Huawei, Juniper, and Arista, and more.
