40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive Breakout DAC

The 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 40Gbps copper connection between QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ ports with a cable length of 1m (3.28ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. 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
The 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) is a 40Gbps direct attach copper cable for QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ connections in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is stocked in 7 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 7m (23ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers SFF-8436, SFF-8431 and QSFP+ MSA.
Ordering Information
Order reference: part number QSFP-40G-4SPC01. Standard supply covers 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 4m (13ft), 5m (16ft) and 7m (23ft). Custom length production is available for project requirements. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
Reliability Control
From incoming component inspection to final burn-in, quality is controlled at each step of production. Finished units are verified on real networking equipment in our compatibility lab, and test records are kept per batch so that any field question can be traced back quickly.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
