Networking Cables
Active optical cables (AOCs)
For platforms that support 40 GbE ports, F5® provides active optical cable (AOC) options for connecting
to QSFP+ ports on your F5 platform.
AOCs already have the optical electronics connected, eliminating the connectors between the cable and the
transceiver module. AOCs plug into standard optical module sockets and are less expensive than other
optical solutions, because the manufacturer matches the electronics to the required length and type of cable.
Furthermore, standards do not need to be met at every stage of the connection, so AOCs are more efficient.

Note: All photos shown are examples. The appearance of your components or accessories might vary

These active optical cables (AOCs) are supported for use with F5 40 GbE products.

Cable and adapter pinouts
These pinouts describe how specified connectors are wired. Pinouts are helpful when building and testing
connectors, cables, and adapters.
RJ45M/RJ45F rolled adapter
This table lists the pinouts for the RJ45M/RJ45F rolled adapter that connects to the RJ45 console port on
your platform.
Note: These platforms have an RJ45 console port: BIG-IP® 2000/4000/5000/7000/10000 Series and
VIPRION® 2100/2150/2250/4100/4200/4300 blades.
