Axiom QSFP+ breakout cable 16.40 ft

This Axiom twinaxial cable connects a single QSFP+ port to four SFP+ ports for network device uplinks. It measures 16.40 ft in length and uses passive copper construction with a lifetime limited warranty. The cable is new and ready for deployment in compatible networking environments.

Suits QSFP+ to SFP+ fan-out links

Installers breaking out a 40G QSFP+ port into four independent SFP+ connections will use this cable. It does not suit links requiring active signal conditioning or optical transceivers for longer reach. Builders needing different connector types or active equalisation should select another product.

Passive twinaxial 5 metre reach

The cable is a passive twinaxial assembly rated for a 16.40 ft span between rack-mounted equipment. Passive designs rely on the host ports for signal integrity, so link stability depends on the connected hardware specifications. Verify that both ends support passive copper at this distance before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What switch port do I need to plug the QSFP+ end into?

You need an available QSFP+ port on your switch or router that accepts a passive copper breakout cable.

Can I keep using my existing SFP+ transceivers on the other ports of the same switch?

Yes, the four SFP+ connectors are independent and will work alongside any other SFP+ modules already installed.

How do I verify the breakout is operating correctly after I connect it?

Confirm each of the four SFP+ links shows an active status and clean error counters in your switch management interface.
