BlueOptics NetApp X66120-2 Compatible BlueLAN QSFP+ Active Copper DAC Cable 30m

This 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to QSFP+ active copper cable delivers 40 Gigabit Ethernet over a 30-meter link with ultra-low latency, engineered for seamless compatibility with NetApp X66120-2 storage systems and SFF-8436 compliant devices. Active signal amplification ensures robust performance beyond passive DAC limits, making it ideal for data center interconnects and high-performance computing clusters.

Advantages

Active copper technology maintains full 40GbE throughput without optical transceivers, reducing cost and complexity. Hot-swappable design enables quick deployment and maintenance. 24 AWG conductors and 100 Ohm impedance guarantee consistent signal integrity, while power consumption under 1.5 W supports energy-efficient operations. The PVC jacket provides durability in demanding environments.
