BlueOptics Ruckus Compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP+ Cable 0.5m 40Gbps Passive Copper

The BlueOptics Ruckus Compatible BlueLAN DAC QSFP+ Cable is a high-performance direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for 40 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand QDR/FDR networks. With a length of 0.5 meters, it provides a cost-effective and low-power solution for short-range interconnections within racks or between adjacent equipment. This passive copper cable is fully compatible with Ruckus equipment and meets SFF-8436 MSA standards, ensuring reliable data transmission at 40 Gbps.

Advantages

This DAC cable offers several benefits: low power consumption (<0.5W), hot-pluggable design for easy installation, and robust PVC jacket for durability. It eliminates the need for separate transceivers, reducing overall system cost and complexity. The 30 AWG construction ensures flexibility while maintaining signal integrity over the short distance.

Suitable for

• Data center top-of-rack to server connections
• High-performance computing clusters
• Enterprise network switches and routers
• InfiniBand QDR/FDR environments

Recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure that both ends of the cable are securely connected to compatible QSFP+ ports. This cable is ideal for short-distance, high-speed interconnects where low latency and low power are critical. It is not suitable for long-distance transmission; for distances beyond 7 meters, consider active optical cables or fiber transceivers.
