H3C QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-25M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Optical Breakout Cable, 25m (82ft)
This QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-25M compatible cable gives project teams a defined 40G connection in 25m (82ft), with QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ and H3C host compatibility. Rather than treating all lengths as interchangeable, the page keeps this order code separate and links the other verified lengths for accurate schedules, labels and delivery checks.

Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses OFNP jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. 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.
Integrated Optical Assembly
The optical engines and fiber are permanently integrated into this AOC. There are no detachable optical modules to clean or exchange. Handle the complete assembly by its connector housings and cable, and keep both ends matched to the same interface specification.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
With 25m (82ft) available, the installer has more routing freedom but also more cable to control. Determine where any remaining service loop will be stored, preserve the stated bend radius and keep the loop away from sharp edges and hot exhaust. The integrated optical cable and both optical engines should remain accessible for inspection and removal. Within this family, QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-20M is shorter at 20m (66ft), while QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-30M is the next longer choice at 30m (98ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.
Position Within the Length Range
QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-25M occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-20M at 20m (66ft) and QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-30M at 30m (98ft). It adds 5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
Project Documentation and Cable Identification
Large deployments are easier to audit when the order code, physical length and endpoint record agree. Keep the OEM reference in the compatibility document and use the HT part number on the packing list. Where several lengths arrive together, labels and carton groups can be arranged by rack or port plan so installers do not have to identify cables by appearance alone. For this assembly, the minimum bend radius is 30mm; the jacket material is OFNP.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Breakout Port Mapping
The QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.
H3C Compatibility and Factory Testing
Factory verification links the compatibility identity to the exact physical assembly described on this page. Identification, connector condition and live link behavior are checked before packing. Customers can submit equipment and firmware details with the project documentation for a more specific pre-order compatibility review. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes receive activity and diagnostic indications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original H3C cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies H3C QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-25M.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-25M refers here to 25m (82ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
Ordering Information
Use the listed HT part number for ordering and retain the OEM reference as the host-compatibility cross-reference. Send quantities by length, along with any rack-based packing or label instructions. If the project has mixed equipment, include the host model for each group rather than relying only on the aggregate cable rate. Keep QSFP-4 x 10G-D-AOC-25M associated with 25m (82ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
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. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Inspection and link testing are completed before the cable enters its protective packaging. Project orders can be packed and labelled by length, rack or customer reference, with packing documentation that makes received quantities straightforward to reconcile against the installation schedule. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
