BlueOptics Compatible Maipu QSFP-STACK-05 BlueLAN QSFP Direct Attach Cable, 40GBASE-CR4, Ethernet/Infiniband QDR, 30AWG, 0.5 Meter (QSFP-STACK-05-BL)

The BlueOptics QSFP-STACK-05-BL is a high-performance, passive Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for seamless compatibility with Maipu QSFP-STACK-05 interfaces. This 0.5-meter cable supports 40GBASE-CR4 Ethernet and InfiniBand QDR protocols, making it an ideal solution for high-speed data center and network interconnect applications. Built with 30 AWG copper wire, it ensures reliable, low-latency connections with zero power consumption.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to active optical cables, with no external power required. Its passive design guarantees minimal signal degradation over short distances, while the QSFP form factor ensures broad compatibility with Maipu and other standard QSFP ports. The 0.5-meter length is perfect for rack-to-rack or top-of-rack cabling, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects (ToR to server, switch to switch)
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise network backbone connections
• InfiniBand QDR fabric links
• 40G Ethernet uplinks and downlinks
