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

The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 40Gbps copper connection between QSFP+ to SFP+ ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. 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.

The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) connects QSFP+ to SFP+ ports at 40Gbps in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is supplied in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). 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-4X10G-AC1M.

This product is designed and tested to comply with SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA. It is interoperable with Cisco equipment and serves as a direct equivalent to the Cisco part number QSFP-4X10G-AC1M.

This model carries part number QSFP-40G-4SAC01. You can order this assembly in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Non-standard lengths can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.

As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.

We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.

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.
