BlueLAN Molex 74764-1301 Compatible Passive 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Breakout Direct Attach Copper Cable (DAC) - 1m

This BlueLAN Molex 74764-1301 compatible breakout Direct Attach Cable (DAC) is a passive 40 Gigabit to 4x10 Gigabit twinaxial copper variant, featuring a QSFP+ to 4xSFP+ connection. Designed for connecting hardware within racks and across adjacent racks, it provides a cost-effective and low-latency solution for high-speed data center interconnects.

Advantages

Passive design ensures zero power consumption and ultra-low latency. The breakout cable enables a single 40G port to connect to four 10G devices, maximizing port utilization and simplifying cable management. Hot-swappable connectors allow for easy installation and maintenance without network downtime.

Suitable for

• Data center rack-to-rack and server-to-switch connections
