QSFP+ to 4×SFP+ Twinaxial Cable

This Axiom twinaxial cable provides a direct passive link between one QSFP+ port and four SFP+ ports. It spans 3.3 ft and is designed for short-reach rack or cabinet connections. The passive construction requires no external power and suits standard networking deployments.

Suits short-range breakout links

Engineers who need to split a single QSFP+ uplink into four SFP+ downlinks inside the same rack will find this cable convenient. It is not intended for longer runs between racks or for active signal conditioning. Buyers requiring extended reach or active equalisation should consider alternative cable types.

Passive 3.3 ft breakout

The cable operates as a passive assembly, meaning it draws no power and adds no latency beyond the copper path. This characteristic decides whether the link budget fits a given port specification; active ports or longer distances may demand an active or optical solution instead.

Questions about this item

Does the passive twinaxial cable require any firmware updates or scheduled replacement over its lifetime?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active electronics, so it needs no firmware updates and has no defined replacement interval beyond physical inspection for damage.

What throughput ceiling appears first when the QSFP+ breakout runs continuously at line rate?

The four SFP+ breakout ports each operate at their rated lane speed, and the passive copper construction imposes no additional throughput bottleneck beyond the host port capabilities.

How much heat or audible noise does the 3.3 ft passive assembly generate during all-day operation?

As a fully passive twinaxial cable it produces no heat of its own and emits no noise; only the connected transceivers and switch ports contribute thermal load.
