BlueOptics Compatible Extreme Networks QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M-EN BlueLAN Passive 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP to 4x10GBASE-CR SFP+ Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 1m, AWG30 (QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M-EN-BL)

The BlueOptics QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M-EN-BL is a high-performance passive direct attach breakout cable (DAC) designed for compatibility with Extreme Networks equipment. It provides a cost-effective solution for 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity by breaking out a single QSFP port into four 10 Gigabit SFP+ links. Ideal for data center, server, and storage applications, this cable ensures reliable, low-latency connections with minimal power consumption.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers significant advantages over traditional fiber optic transceivers and cabling. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber patch cables, reducing cost and complexity. The passive design ensures near-zero power consumption (<0.5W) and no heat generation, enhancing energy efficiency. With a length of 1 meter and AWG30 wire gauge, it is flexible and easy to route in high-density environments. The cable is hot-swappable and fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ba and 802.3ae standards, guaranteeing interoperability.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack and end-of-row switching
