Axiom QSFP+ to four SFP+ breakout cable three metres

Axiom

Axiom 1404035-E6-AX QSFP+ 40G to 4×10G SFP+ DAC 3M

SKU CH-TBGF-ZZWGP

Passive copper cable splits a 40 Gbps QSFP+ port into four 10 Gbps SFP+ links over three metres

  • 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth from one QSFP+ port
  • Four 10 Gbps SFP+ channels for flexible connectivity
  • Passive copper design needs no external power
  • 3 metre reach suits typical rack-to-rack links
  • Avaya-compatible coding ensures plug-and-play operation

Axiom 40G QSFP+ to 4×10G SFP+ DAC

This Axiom 1404035-E6-AX cable splits a single 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ port into four independent 10GBASE-CU SFP+ connections. It is a passive direct-attach copper assembly built for short-reach links inside the rack. The three-metre length suits adjacent switch-to-server or switch-to-switch runs. Buyers receive a ready-to-use breakout cable that carries the Avaya-compatible coding.

Suits 40G-to-10G breakout needs

Network engineers who need to fan out a 40 Gbps uplink into four 10 Gbps downlinks will find this cable matches that exact topology. It works with QSFP+ ports wired for 40GBASE-CR4 and SFP+ ports wired for 10GBASE-CU. Teams requiring longer reaches, active optics, or fibre media should look at other products because this assembly is a fixed-length passive copper design.

40GBASE-CR4 to 4×10GBASE-CU breakout

The defining specification is the 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to 4×10GBASE-CU SFP+ breakout wiring. This pin-out and lane assignment decides whether the cable matches the port configuration on both ends. Verify that the host equipment expects this exact breakout mapping before purchase.

Questions about this item

Which 40 GbE QSFP+ port will this breakout cable plug into?

The QSFP+ end follows the 40GBASE-CR4 pinout and fits any standard 40 GbE QSFP+ receptacle on a switch or NIC.

Can the four 10 GbE SFP+ ends link to legacy 10GBASE-CU SFP+ ports I already use?

Each SFP+ leg is wired for 10GBASE-CU so it will negotiate with existing 10 GbE SFP+ ports at full line rate.

How do I confirm every lane is live after I connect the cable?

Check the link LEDs on both the QSFP+ side and all four SFP+ sides; solid green on each port means all four 10 GbE lanes are up.
