QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-7M23FTQSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-7M23FT 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Copper Breakout Cable, 7m (23ft)
For densely populated equipment, the fixed 7m (23ft) version of Generic QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-7M23FT offers a clearly defined 40G link without separate optical modules or patch cords. The ACC assembly uses QSFP+ to SFP+; its power, mechanical and diagnostic details are listed where supplied so port density and cable management can be assessed together.

Power and Thermal Planning
The rated power consumption is ≤1.8W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Breakout Port Mapping
The QSFP+ to SFP+ configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
Longer assemblies require disciplined cable dressing. For QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-7M23FT at 7m (23ft), use the intended managers rather than a diagonal route across the rack, and leave enough space to release each connector. Any service allowance should be loose and supported, with the complete copper assembly and both connector housings protected throughout the path. Within this family, QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-5M16FT is shorter at 5m (16ft), while QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-9M29FT is the next longer choice at 9m (29ft); comparing those two boundaries helps avoid both tension and unnecessary slack.
Position Within the Length Range
QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-7M23FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-5M16FT at 5m (16ft) and QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-9M29FT at 9m (29ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.
High-Density Rack Integration
In a densely populated rack, connector access and airflow are part of the link design. Choose the shortest length that follows the managed path comfortably, avoid tight bundles around the connector housings and preserve room for latch operation. Where power consumption is listed, include every populated interface in the host thermal budget rather than assessing a single cable in isolation. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 26AWG; the minimum bend radius is 44.5mm; the stated power consumption is ≤1.8W; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).
Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 44.5mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Each assembly receives a visual connector inspection and functional link check before it is coiled and protected. Packaging is selected to avoid compressing the cable into a tight bundle, and optional rack-based labels help maintain an orderly installation when many identical interfaces are populated together. Volume orders can include customer references on the labels and carton list.
Ordering Information
Provide the exact part number, length, quantity and target interface density. For multi-rack projects, list each length separately and identify any preferred carton grouping. Host model and software information can be included for a compatibility review before production or dispatch. Keep QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-ACC-7M23FT associated with 7m (23ft) throughout the order and receiving record.
Generic Compatibility and Factory Testing
The assembly is evaluated for host recognition and stable link operation, with diagnostics checked where the interface provides them. This approach verifies more than electrical or optical continuity. Exact platform and firmware information remains valuable in high-density deployments because port mode and qualification policy can differ within the same connector family. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original equipment manufacturer cable?
No. It is manufactured by HT under our own manufacturer identity.
Are separate transceivers or patch leads required?
No. This is one complete direct-attach assembly. The ends are not detachable modules and should not be separated from the cable.
Can excess cable be folded into a compact bundle?
No. Use a supported, bend-safe service loop and observe the listed minimum bend radius. Do not crease the cable or tighten ties around the connector boots.
Will any matching connector operate at the same speed?
Not necessarily. Both hosts must support the stated rate, identification, lane mapping and any required breakout configuration; mechanical compatibility alone is insufficient.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, with production quantities confirmed at order stage. International express, air cargo and sea freight can be selected according to destination and carton volume; customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are also accepted.
