Lenovo ECO 1M 40G AOC Cable | Active Optical, 40 GbE, 1 m

Maintain high-speed connectivity across short rack spans with the Lenovo ECO 1M 40G AOC. This active optical cable is designed for 40 GbE interconnects where copper would add weight, bend stress, or airflow clutter. At 1 m, it fits cleanly between adjacent switches, servers, and storage nodes, helping keep cable paths short and orderly. For infrastructure teams, the value is in consistency. Active optical cabling supports stable signal delivery over a compact run while avoiding the management overhead of longer, heavier assemblies. That makes it a practical choice for top-of-rack and side-by-side equipment layouts where port density matters and every inch of rack space is accounted for. This Lenovo cable is suited to environments that need dependable short-reach connectivity without overbuilding the link. It is a focused component for production racks, not a generic patch solution. Use it when you need a clean 40 GbE path between devices and want to preserve serviceability, airflow, and port access in the same build.
