BLUEOPTICS Edge Core ET6402-10DAC-1M Compatible Breakout Direct Attach Cable (DAC) Passive 40G to 4x10G QSFP+ to 4xSFP+ 1m BlueLAN

The BLUEOPTICS Edge Core ET6402-10DAC-1M compatible breakout direct attach cable (DAC) is a high-performance, passive twinaxial copper cable designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet breakout applications. It provides a cost-effective and low-latency solution for connecting network equipment within racks or across adjacent racks, converting a single QSFP+ port into four SFP+ ports.

Advantages

This passive DAC cable offers zero power consumption, eliminating the need for external power sources and reducing overall energy costs. Its breakout design allows for efficient utilization of switch ports, enabling 40G to 4x10G connectivity without additional transceivers. The cable is hot-swappable and compliant with industry standards, ensuring reliable performance in data center environments.
