Review on 40G QSFP AOC Cable - 40GBASE Ethernet Direct-Attach Active Optical Cable Networking Products by James Roper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well with my Mac and my Chelsio 40Gb/s card

Works well with my Hackintosh Mac OSX Sierra and this 40Gb/s card: https://www.amazon.com/ gp /product/B00FAU8B2O/ Connecting my OSX server to Macbook Pro with 2 such cards and this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N21UTFN/ Reach over 1500 MB/s in my speed test software. With a standard 10GBE card, the max was around 500-600. Can edit RED Raw RD3 video in FCPX directly from server.

Pros
  • 3 meter Direct Connect active fiber optic cable
Cons
  • Not bad
