40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft)40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC
The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 40Gbps copper connection between QSFP+ to SFP+ ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments.

Applications
Designed for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, the 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) carries 40Gbps between QSFP+ to SFP+ interfaces. This unit is stocked in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-4X10G-AC1M.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-4X10G-AC1M directly, with identical fit and function. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
Ordering Information
Order reference: part number QSFP-40G-4SAC01. Standard supply covers 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Custom length production is available for project requirements. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Our Testing Process
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
