Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-1001 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Active Copper Cable, 10m (33ft)
The 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-1001 compatible assembly is intended for Brocade equipment that requires a 40G direct-attached connection. This version is specifically 10m (33ft), with QSFP+ to QSFP+ and its own order reference. Exact length pages and equivalent brand references are linked to make multi-product procurement easier to verify.

Cable Construction and Routing
This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 40mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.
Length Selection and Installation Planning
The 10m (33ft) reach of 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-1001 is useful only when the managed pathway requires it; straight-line distance between ports is not a sufficient measurement. Check the route around rack rails, cable managers and maintenance clearances, then protect the complete copper assembly and both connector housings from tight bends and unsupported spans. The next shorter verified assembly is 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-0701 at 7m (23ft), which is the better comparison when the managed route leaves substantial unused cable.
Position Within the Length Range
40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-1001 is the longest of 2 verified length options in this family. Compared with 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-0701 at 7m (23ft), it provides 3m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.
Procurement and Port-Mapping Review
A useful purchase order should identify the host platform, the expected OEM code and the exact cable length as separate pieces of information. This prevents a physically similar assembly from being substituted when the port identification or reach is different. For mixed-length installations, prepare one order line per part number and reconcile each delivered cable with its intended pair of ports. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 26AWG; the minimum bend radius is 40mm; the jacket material is PVC (OFNR).
Network and Protocol Considerations
The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.
Brocade Compatibility and Factory Testing
Our procurement-oriented compatibility check begins with the OEM reference and ends with a live host link. We record the physical length separately from the identification configuration, so the cable supplied for this page remains the stated version rather than a generic length substitute. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.
Ordering Information
For a clear bill of materials, quote the OEM reference, HT part number, length and quantity on the same line. Add the switch or server model and software release when a pre-order review is required; project labels can repeat those details for receiving and installation teams. This page’s fixed configuration is 10m (33ft); another length must be quoted under its corresponding part number.
Quality Assurance and Packaging
Before packing, the assembly is checked for connector condition, identification and link operation. Cables for multi-line orders can be labelled and grouped by part number, making it easier to match each length to the procurement record without opening every protective bag. Neutral packaging and customer-specific packing documentation are available on request.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Brocade cable?
No. It is an HT-manufactured compatible alternative for equipment that specifies Brocade 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-1001.
How should an unused assembly be stored?
Protect both connector ends, keep the cable in a loose bend-safe coil and retain its part-number label so the length and compatibility identity remain traceable.
Can different brands be connected with the same assembly?
Only where both hosts explicitly support the complete interface and compatibility arrangement. Document each end and select the appropriate brand-specific product when required.
Does this order code cover multiple lengths?
No. 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-1001 refers here to 10m (33ft). Every other verified length has a separate part number and page in the length list.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. Delivery can be arranged by courier, air freight or sea freight, and goods may instead be handed to an appointed forwarder or shipped on the customer’s courier account.
