Applications
The 40G QSFP+ Passive DAC, 1m (3ft) is a 40Gbps direct attach copper cable for QSFP+ to QSFP+ connections in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is produced in 7 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 7m (23ft). 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-H40G-CU1M directly.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: SFF-8436, QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-H40G-CU1M 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-PC01. This cable is available in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft) and 7m (23ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
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.
Delivery
Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.
Quality and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
Packaging Options
Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.
