40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft)

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.

In 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, the 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a factory terminated 40Gbps link between QSFP+ to SFP+ ports. This unit is available in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. 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.

The standard part number of this assembly is QSFP-40G-4SAC01. We supply this cable in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Custom lengths beyond this range can also be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG.

Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.

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.

Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.

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.
