BlueOptics Ruckus 40G-QSFP-C-0501 Compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP+ 5m Passive Copper Cable

The BlueOptics Ruckus 40G-QSFP-C-0501 Compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP+ is a high-performance direct attach copper cable designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This passive twinax cable provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for short-range interconnects in data centers and high-performance networking environments. With a length of 5 meters, it offers reliable signal integrity and is fully compatible with Ruckus 40G-QSFP-C-0501 ports.

Advantages

This DAC cable eliminates the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling, reducing overall system cost and complexity. Its passive design ensures near-zero power consumption (<0.5W) and minimal latency, making it ideal for high-density switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections. The copper twinax construction provides excellent signal quality and durability.
