BlueOptics Panduit PHQ4SFPXA1MBL Compatible Breakout Direct Attach Cable (DAC) - Passive 40G to 4x10G Twinaxial Copper, QSFP+ to 4xSFP+, 1m

The BlueOptics PHQ4SFPXA1MBL-BL is a high-performance breakout direct attach cable (DAC) designed for seamless connectivity in data centers and enterprise networks. This passive twinaxial copper cable converts a single 40 Gigabit QSFP+ port into four 10 Gigabit SFP+ connections, enabling efficient aggregation and distribution of network traffic. Fully compatible with Panduit PHQ4SFPXA1MBL equipment, it ensures reliable, low-latency performance for rack-to-rack and server-to-switch interconnects.
