QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ DAC 1m to 5m passive
QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ DAC solution for 40G Ethernet applications
Product information
The SO-QSFP-4SFP-PCUxM is a passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) solution of Twinax type, i.e. a copper cable similar to coaxial cable, but with two inner conductors instead of one. A typical application for a SO-QSFP-4SFP-PCUXM break-out cables is between an QSFP+ port on a 40Gbps switch and feed up to four upstream 10GbE-SFP+ enabled switches. Each QSFP-SFP+ splitter cable features a single QSFP connector (SFF-8436) rated for 40Gbps on one end and 4x SFP+ connectors (SFF-8431), each rated for 10Gbps, on the other.
The SO-QSFP-4SFP-PCUxM is provided in lengths from 1 to 5 meters (3.3 to 16.4 ft).
The thickness of the cable is defined by the AWG (American Wire Gauge) rating value. Please see minimum bend radius requirements in datasheet.
