Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AC3M Compatible 40G-DAC-CU QSFP+ to 4xSFP+ Active 3M (9.8ft) 30AWG Direct Attach Cables

• Product Overview

QSFP+ to 4x SFP10G-CU (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) copper direct-attach cables are suitable for very short distances and offer a highly cost-effective way to establish a 40-Gigabit link between QSFP+ ports of QSFP+ switches within racks and across adjacent racks. These cables are used for 40GbE and Infniband standards, to maximize performance.

QSFP+ are designed to meet emerging data center and high performance computing application needs for a high density cabling interconnect system capable of delivering an aggregate data bandwidth of 40Gb/s.

The QSFP+ cables support the bandwidth transmission requirements as defined by IEEE 802.3ba (40 Gb/s) and Infiniband QDR ( 4x10 Gb/s per channel) specifications.

Connector A: (1) QSFP 40.0 Gbps Rated Connector (SFF-8436 Compliant)
Connector B: (4) SFP+ 10.0 Gbps Rated Connectors (SFF-8431 Compliant)
