Lenovo 5 m QSFP+ to 4xSFP+ AOC Cable | 40 GbE, Active Optical

Keep high-speed infrastructure connected across longer rack spans with the Lenovo DCG Server Options 5M QSFP+ to 4xSFP+ Active Optical Cable. This cable is designed for environments that need 40 GbE transport with a breakout path from one QSFP+ interface to four SFP+ endpoints, giving architects a practical way to connect mixed-port systems without adding unnecessary complexity. At 5 m, the cable provides enough reach for rack-to-rack or across-row routing while staying far more manageable than a loose assembly of separate links. Active optical construction helps preserve signal quality over the run, which is important when the cable path must remain clean, serviceable, and predictable in production infrastructure. For procurement teams, this is the kind of component that earns its place in a build: it solves a specific interconnect problem, supports dense port layouts, and reduces the friction of integrating heterogeneous hardware. Use it where a direct, high-speed breakout connection is required and where cable discipline is part of the operating standard.
