Twinaxial Cable QSFP+ 16.4 ft

This Axiom twinaxial cable provides a direct QSFP+ to QSFP+ link for networking equipment. It measures 16.4 ft in length and uses passive construction without active signal conditioning. The cable is designed for efficient, cost-effective connectivity in data-centre or enterprise switch deployments.

Suits short-reach switch-to-switch links

The passive design fits installations where both ends support QSFP+ passive copper and the 16.4 ft reach covers the rack distance. Buyers who need longer reach, active signal boosting, or fibre-based media should consider other cable types.

QSFP+ passive copper at 16.4 ft

The single deciding specification is the 16.4 ft passive QSFP+ twinaxial construction, which determines whether the cable matches the port type and distance budget of the target link.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 16.4 ft passive twinaxial cable draw during continuous operation?

As a passive cable it draws no power of its own; only the linked QSFP+ ports consume electricity.

What ports must my equipment already provide for this cable to connect?

Each end needs a QSFP+ network port; the connectors are male QSFP+ and will not mate with other port types.

Will the 16.4 ft length work reliably with older QSFP+ switches that only support shorter passive cables?

Passive twinaxial reach depends on the host port’s signal quality; many older QSFP+ ports only guarantee shorter passive runs, so verify the switch vendor’s maximum passive-cable distance.
