The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 40Gbps copper connection between QSFP+ to SFP+ ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments.

Applications
In 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, the 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a factory terminated 40Gbps link between QSFP+ to SFP+ ports. This unit is produced in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. It is interoperable with Cisco platforms and replaces the Cisco part QSFP-4X10G-AC1M directly.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-4X10G-AC1M directly, with identical fit and function. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
Ordering Information
The factory part number is QSFP-40G-4SAC01. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Our Testing Process
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
Packing Details
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
Custom-made Fiber Products
As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
