40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC

The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) is a active twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP+ to SFP+, supporting 40Gbps links over a length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, and complies with SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA.

The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) is a 40Gbps active copper cable for QSFP+ to SFP+ connections in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is provided 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. It is interoperable with Cisco platforms and replaces the Cisco part QSFP-4X10G-AC1M directly.

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.

This assembly is listed under part number QSFP-40G-4SAC01. The cable is supplied in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Custom lengths beyond the standard range are available on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG.

Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.

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.

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.

Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
