2 m 40 Gbps QSFP+ DAC cable

This 2 metre passive direct-attach copper cable carries 40 Gbps between two QSFP+ ports. It meets 40GBASE-CR4 and QSFP+ MSA requirements and supports SDR, DDR and QDR signalling. The black jacket is 6.56 ft long and uses male QSFP+ connectors on both ends.

Suited for 40 Gbps QSFP+ links

It fits switches, servers or storage gear that accept QSFP+ modules and need a 40 Gbps copper interconnect. It will not work for equipment that only provides SFP+, SFP28 or other single-lane form factors, nor for links that require an active optical cable.

40 Gbps QSFP+ passive copper

The cable is a passive copper assembly rated for 40 Gbps over the full 2 metre length. That single spec determines whether the link will negotiate at the intended speed without external power.

Questions about this item

How much power does the 2 m passive copper QSFP+ cable draw when running at 40 Gbps all day?

As a passive direct-attach copper cable it needs no external power and generates negligible heat during continuous 40 Gbps operation.

What QSFP+ ports must my switches or NICs provide for this cable to work?

Each end requires a standard QSFP+ (male) receptacle; the cable plugs directly into matching 40 GbE or Infiniband QSFP+ ports.

Can I mix this 40 Gbps QSFP+ link with existing 40 GbE gear that follows the QSFP+ MSA?

Yes, the cable meets the QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement and 40GBASE-CR4, so it interoperates with other MSA-compliant 40 GbE equipment.
