Specifications

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 40mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

Measure twice before deploying this 10m (33ft) cable: once along the planned route and again after accounting for service access. The objective is adequate reach without a concealed surplus. Support the complete copper assembly and both connector housings, preserve front-panel clearance and check that nearby power cords or sharp hardware cannot damage the jacket. The next shorter verified assembly is QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP+ to QSFP+-40G-ACC-10M33FT is the longest of 2 verified length options in this family. Compared with QSFP-40G-AC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft), it provides 3m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

Structured Pathways and Serviceability

Treat the direct-attach assembly as part of the permanent pathway plan even when the link is expected to be temporary. Follow the intended horizontal and vertical managers, maintain the specified bend radius and leave service access around both ports. A small, supported service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack or placed under cable-tie pressure. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 26AWG; the minimum bend radius is 40mm; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).

Ordering Information

Include the part number, fixed length, quantity and required pathway or rack grouping in the order information. The host model and firmware release are useful for change-controlled deployments. Different lengths should remain separate order lines so delivered labels and packing records agree with the pathway plan. This page’s fixed configuration is 10m (33ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.

Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing

Verification covers the physical connectors, expected host identity and an operating link with available diagnostic indications. We distinguish this complete check from a simple continuity test. Platform model and software release can be reviewed in advance where the installation has strict documentation or change-control requirements. The check includes link stability and diagnostic indications, followed by a final inspection of both ends.

Shipping and Lead Time

Available stock is generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation, with production lead times advised for larger quantities. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

After connector inspection and link verification, the assembly is coiled without tight bends and packed with end protection. Labels can cross-reference the customer cable schedule, OEM part number and length. This supports both receiving checks and later moves, adds or changes. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
