BlueOptics Dell GJWT4NE BlueLAN Passive 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP to 4x10GBASE-CR SFP+ Direct Attach Breakout Cable, 5 Meter

The BlueOptics Dell GJWT4NE 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 network connectivity. This 5-meter breakout cable enables a single QSFP port to connect to four SFP+ ports, providing seamless 40G to 4x10G aggregation. Designed as a passive copper direct attach cable (DAC), it offers ultra-low power consumption and reliable signal integrity for short-range interconnects.

Advantages

This breakout cable simplifies network cabling by replacing four separate 10G cables and transceivers with a single, integrated solution. Its passive design ensures zero power consumption, reducing overall energy costs. The cable is hot-swappable and fully compatible with Dell GJWT4NE equipment, making it an ideal choice for upgrading or expanding network infrastructure without complexity.
