Mellanox®MC2210310 is a QSFP+ VCSEL-based (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) active optical cable (AOC) designed for use in 40GbE Ethernet systems. MC2210310 AOC offers high port density and configurability and a much longer reach than passive copper cables in the data centers. Since the AOC is hot pluggable it is easy to install and replace.

MC2210310 has a standard SFF-8665 compliant QSFP+ port on the electrical side towards the host system. It contains four multi-mode fibers (MMF) optic transceivers per end each operating at data rates of up to 10.3125Gb/s. This integrated cable solution provides reliable transport for aggregate data rates of up to 40Gb/s.

Rigorous production testing ensures the best out-of-the-box installation experience performance and durability. Mellanox's unique quality active fiber cable solutions provide power-efficient connectivity for data center interconnects. They enable higher port bandwidth density and configurability at a low cost and reduced power requirement in the data centers.
