40G QSFP+ Passive DAC

The 40G QSFP+ Passive DAC, 1m (3ft) is a twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP+ to QSFP+, supporting 40Gbps links over a length of 1m (3.28ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, and complies with SFF-8436, QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba.

Applications
The 40G QSFP+ Passive DAC, 1m (3ft) connects QSFP+ to QSFP+ ports at 40Gbps in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is manufactured in 7 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 7m (23ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. It is interoperable with Cisco platforms and replaces the Cisco part QSFP-H40G-CU1M directly.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: SFF-8436, QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-H40G-CU1M 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.
Ordering Information
Part number of this model: QSFP-40G-PC01. Length options are 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft) and 7m (23ft). Our factory also produces custom lengths beyond these on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Our Testing Process
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
Packaging
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.
Customization Service
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.
Worldwide Delivery
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.
