BlueLAN 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to 4x10GBASE-CR SFP+ Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 3m, Passive Copper, AWG30, Compatible with Extreme Networks AA1404035-E6

The BlueLAN AA1404035-E6-BL is a high-performance passive copper direct attach breakout cable (DAC) designed for compatibility with Extreme Networks equipment. It provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting 40 Gbps QSFP+ ports to four 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, ideal for data center and high-performance computing environments.

Advantages

This breakout cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber cabling, reducing cost and complexity. It offers low power consumption (<0.1W), hot-swappable capability, and full compliance with RoHS, CE, and FCC standards. The passive design ensures zero latency and high signal integrity over the 3-meter length.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnect
