Lenovo 00YL652 3 m 40G QSFP+ Active Optical Cable | Fiber Optic, Enterprise

Deliver 40 GbE connectivity in a compact 3 m run with this QSFP+ to QSFP+ active optical cable from Lenovo DCG Server Options. It is designed for short-distance links where speed, cable discipline, and airflow all matter. In tightly packed racks, the smaller optical profile helps keep pathways clear while maintaining a direct connection between network devices. This type of cable is a strong fit for modern data center builds that need high bandwidth without the clutter of heavier copper assemblies. The 3 m length is ideal for adjacent equipment, making it easier to connect top-of-rack switches, servers, and storage systems without excess slack. For teams standardizing on 40 GbE infrastructure, it provides a clean, purpose-built interconnect that supports orderly deployment and easier maintenance. When you are optimizing rack density, cable management, and serviceability, the right optical cable matters. This model is built for environments where short-reach performance and physical organization are part of the design standard, not an afterthought.
