Cable CBO CBL-QSFP-40GE-5M-F1 40Gbps QSFP+ active/passive 5 m

CBO CBL-QSFP-40GE-5M-F1 40Gbps QSFP+ active/passive 5 m is a 5-meter high-speed cable designed to support 40 Gigabit Ethernet links between QSFP+ ports. Intended for short-reach interconnects, this cable connects switches, servers and other network equipment in data centers and enterprise environments. It delivers a compact physical footprint and straightforward plug-and-play connectivity for 40Gbps environments.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable 40Gbps throughput over a 5 m length with low latency and stable signal transmission. Its QSFP+ form-factor ensures compatibility with equipment that accepts QSFP+ active or passive direct-attach connections. The cable’s design emphasizes a compact, durable assembly suitable for rack and cabinet deployments where space and consistent performance are important.

Suitable for

• Short-reach 40 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches
• Server-to-switch high-speed connections in data centers
• Top-of-rack and end-of-row interconnects
• Enterprise network uplinks and aggregation ports

Key specifications

• Data rate: 40 Gbps
• Connector type: QSFP+
• Length: 5 m
• Compatibility: supports active and passive QSFP+ direct-attach connections
• Intended reach: short-reach interconnects

How to use

Insert each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP+ port on your network devices until the latch engages. Ensure both ends are fully seated and secured to prevent intermittent connections. No additional configuration is required at the cable level; once connected, network devices will negotiate link parameters and establish a 40Gbps connection if supported. Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid tight bends or excessive pulling along the cable jacket.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this cable for connections within the same rack or adjacent racks, maintain bend radius limits specified by the manufacturer, and avoid routing near sources of electromagnetic interference. Verify that both devices support QSFP+ 40Gbps connections and that port firmware and transceiver settings are compatible before deployment.
