BLUEOPTICS Compatible Extreme Networks 100G-QSFP-4SFP-1M BlueLAN Passive 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP to 4x10GBASE-CR SFP+ Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 1 Meter, AWG30

The BLUEOPTICS 100G-QSFP-4SFP-1M-BL is a high-performance passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) designed for compatibility with Extreme Networks equipment. This breakout cable converts a single QSFP port into four SFP+ ports, enabling flexible network connectivity for data centers and enterprise environments. With a length of 1 meter and AWG30 gauge, it delivers reliable 40 Gbps (QSFP end) to 4x10 Gbps (SFP+ ends) data transmission.

Advantages

This cable offers cost-effective, low-power connectivity without active electronics, ensuring minimal latency and high signal integrity. The breakout design allows efficient utilization of existing QSFP ports to connect multiple 10 Gbps devices, simplifying cable management and reducing infrastructure costs.
