Black active DAC cable with QSFP+ connector splitting into four SFP+ connectors, five metres long

Axiom

Axiom 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to 4 10GBASE-CU SFP+ active DAC Juniper compatible 5m handheld pcs accessory

SKU CH-N6E4-G004A

Connects a 40G QSFP+ port to four 10G SFP+ ports over a 5m active DAC for Juniper equipment

  • Splits 40 Gbps into four 10 Gbps links for flexible port use
  • Active signal conditioning maintains integrity over 5 m copper reach
  • QSFP+ to 4×SFP+ breakout fits Juniper gear without adapters
  • Direct-attach copper avoids separate transceivers and patch cords

40G to 4x10G breakout cable for Juniper gear

This active direct-attach copper cable splits a single 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ port into four independent 10GBASE-CU SFP+ connections. It is built for Juniper-compatible switches and routers that require a 40G uplink broken out to 10G server or storage links. The five-metre reach suits adjacent rack connections in data-centre rows. No external power supply is needed beyond the host ports.

Suits network engineers expanding 10G density

Technicians who need passive copper or longer reaches should look at other cable types. Buyers without Juniper-compatible 40G QSFP+ ports cannot use this assembly. Environments requiring optical fibre for distance or electromagnetic immunity need a different media solution.

Questions about this item

What switch port do I need for the QSFP+ end of this 5 m active DAC?

You need a 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ port on the switch side for the breakout cable to link up.

Can I plug the four SFP+ ends into older 10GBASE-CU SFP+ ports?

Yes, each SFP+ connector is built for 10GBASE-CU links, so they work with existing 10 Gb SFP+ ports.
