Axiom QSFP+ breakout cable with four SFP+ ends, 1 metre length

Axiom

Axiom AA1404033-E6-AX 40Gbase-CR4 QSFP+ to 4 10Gbase-CU SFP+ passive DAC 1M personal protective equipment

SKU CH-MC9V-VNJFW

Passive 40 Gbps QSFP+ cable splits into four 10 Gbps SFP+ links over one metre

  • 40 Gbps aggregate bandwidth from single QSFP+ port
  • Four 10 Gbps SFP+ channels for flexible topology
  • Passive copper construction needs no external power
  • Avaya-compatible breakout cable simplifies mixed-vendor deployments
  • 1 metre reach suits adjacent rack connections

Product Identity

This Axiom AA1404033-E6-AX cable assembly connects a single 40Gbase-CR4 QSFP+ port to four separate 10Gbase-CU SFP+ ports. It is built for network engineers and data-centre technicians who need to break out a high-density uplink into four lower-speed links. The passive direct-attach design requires no external power and suits Avaya-compatible environments.

Deciding Specification

The breakout ratio of one 40 Gbps interface to four 10 Gbps interfaces is the single figure that determines whether this cable matches your topology. Each SFP+ leg carries a full 10 Gbps lane so the aggregate throughput equals the QSFP+ source. Verify that your switch or router supports 40Gbase-CR4 to 4x10Gbase-CU breakout before ordering.

Thermals Noise Power

Passive copper construction means the assembly generates no heat of its own and adds no audible noise to the rack. Power draw is limited to the negligible signal current supplied by the host ports, so the cable does not increase the thermal load on your chassis. The 1 metre length keeps insertion loss low for reliable operation at the rated speeds.

Questions about this item

What does the 40Gbase-CR4 rating mean when the cable is plugged into a live switch?

The link runs at 40 Gb/s over four 10 Gb/s lanes using passive copper, so the full 40 Gb/s is available immediately without any power draw from the module.

How does the QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ breakout affect the maximum distance and speed per lane?

Each SFP+ leg is limited to 10 Gb/s and the 1 metre passive copper reach, so the aggregate 40 Gb/s only works within that short distance.

What physical space and port type are needed to install this breakout cable?

One QSFP+ port on the host side and four adjacent SFP+ ports on the far side, with enough clearance for the 1 metre cable bend radius.
