Axiom QSFP+ to SFP+ direct attach cable 16.4 ft

Axiom

Axiom AA1404036-E6-AX personal protective equipment

SKU CH-578Q-YJNJP

A QSFP+ 40GBASE-CR4 to four 10GBASE-CU passive twinaxial cable measuring 16.4 ft

  • Connects 40 Gb and 10 Gb ports with a single cable
  • 4 ft reach fits standard rack distances
  • Passive twinaxial design needs no external power
  • Splits one QSFP+ into four SFP+ links
  • New condition ensures reliable out-of-box performance

40Gbase QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

The Axiom AA1404036-E6-AX is a passive twinaxial cable with a QSFP+ connector breaking out to four SFP+ ports. It provides 40 Gb/s aggregate throughput for short-reach links inside a rack or between adjacent racks. Network engineers deploying 10 GbE server connections from a 40 GbE switch port are the primary audience.

Replaces separate 10 GbE patch cables

A single assembly substitutes four individual SFP+ direct attach cables and frees three switch ports. The jump is worthwhile when a 40 GbE QSFP+ uplink exists and four 10 GbE endpoints need connectivity without adding transceivers or fibre patch cords.

Check port type and reach before ordering

Verify the switch side accepts QSFP+ 40GBASE-CR4 and the server side uses SFP+ 10GBASE-CU interfaces. Confirm the 16.4 ft length fits the cable routing path and that both ends support passive twinaxial operation without forward error correction requirements.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the 16.4 ft twinaxial cable need for routing?

The 16.4 ft passive twinaxial cable requires enough rack depth or cable-management slack to accommodate its full length without sharp bends.

Which end plugs in first when connecting the QSFP+ side to a 40GBASE-CR4 port?

Align the QSFP+ connector with the 40GBASE-CR4 port and press firmly until the latch clicks; the common mistake is inserting the SFP+ breakout ends before the QSFP+ end is fully seated.

When should the passive twinaxial assembly be replaced?

Replace the cable if the latch mechanism no longer holds, the connectors show bent pins, or link errors appear on the 40GBASE-CR4 or 10GBASE-CU lanes.
