IU-CAB-QSFP/4SFP+-P1M - 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to Four 10GBASE-CU SFP+ Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 1 Meter Passive, AWG 30
The IU-CAB-QSFP/4SFP+-P1M is a high-performance, cost-effective interconnect solution for IT professionals looking to bridge the gap between 40G QSFP and 10G SFP+ enabled host adapters, switches, and servers. This 1-meter, passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable supports a wide range of networking protocols, offering a reliable and economical way to connect your 40G and 10G infrastructure.
For typical applications, users can install this splitter cable between an available QSFP port on a 40 Gigabit/s rated switch and connect up to four upstream 10GbE-SFP+ enabled switches. Each QSFP-SFP+ splitter cable features a single QSFP connector (SFF-8436) rated for 40-Gb/s on one end and four SFP+ connectors (SFF-8431) rated for 10-Gb/s on the other, ensuring seamless integration across your network.
The IU-CAB-QSFP/4SFP+-P1M is the perfect solution for expanding and optimizing your network infrastructure, providing reliable and high-speed connections at a fraction of the cost of optical alternatives.
Key Features:
- High-Speed Connectivity: Supports up to 10.3125 Gb/s transfer rate per SFP+ channel (40 Gb/s aggregate), ideal for high-performance networking environments.
- Protocol Agnostic: Compatible with 40GbE, QDR InfiniBand, SAS, and Fiber Channel, making it a versatile solution for various network setups.
- Robust Design: Features zinc die-cast SFP+ and QSFP connectors with pull-to-release latching for secure and reliable connections.
- Cost-Effective: Provides a lower power budget and reduced port cost compared to optical solutions, making it an economical choice for expanding your network.
- Signal Integrity: Designed with low cross-talk and pair-to-pair skew to maintain excellent signal integrity.
- Compliance: Fully compliant with the latest SFP+ and QSFP MSA (Multi-Source Agreement) standards and RoHS compliant for environmental protection.
Applications:
- Network Integration: Ideal for connecting 40G QSFP+ enabled switches to 10G SFP+ enabled switches or servers.
- Data Centers: Suitable for high-density data center environments requiring efficient and reliable network connections.
- Direct Attached Storage: Perfect for direct attached storage (DAS) applications in Fiber Channel and SAS environments.
