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
The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) connects QSFP+ to SFP+ ports at 40Gbps in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is offered in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. For networks standardized on Cisco hardware, it is a drop-in equivalent of the QSFP-4X10G-AC1M.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-4X10G-AC1M and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA.
Ordering Information
Order this assembly under part number QSFP-40G-4SAC01. Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.
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.
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.
