BlueOptics Dell 470-AAFD BlueLAN Passive 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP to 4x10GBASE-CR SFP+ Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 5m

The BlueOptics Dell 470-AAFD BlueLAN passive 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP to 4x10GBASE-CR SFP+ Direct Attach Breakout Cable is a high-performance, cost-effective solution for data center and enterprise networking. This 5-meter passive copper breakout cable enables seamless connectivity between a 40 Gbps QSFP port and four 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, providing flexible bandwidth aggregation and reducing cable clutter.

Advantages

This breakout cable offers significant advantages over traditional fiber optic solutions. It consumes less than 0.5W of power, eliminating the need for external power sources. The passive copper design ensures low latency and high reliability, while the 24 AWG construction guarantees optimal signal integrity over the 5-meter length. Hot-pluggable and compliant with RoHS, CE, and FCC standards, it is an environmentally friendly and safe choice.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects requiring high-density 40G to 10G migration
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters
• Enterprise networking and server rack aggregation
• Ethernet and InfiniBand QDR/FDR applications
