The 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 40Gbps copper connection between QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ ports with a cable length of 1m (3.28ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. 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 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) is a 40Gbps direct attach copper cable for QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ connections in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is offered 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. Compatibility with Cisco systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with SFF-8436, SFF-8431 and QSFP+ MSA. It is interoperable with Cisco equipment and serves as a direct equivalent to the Cisco part number QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M.
Ordering Information
Order this assembly under part number QSFP-40G-4SPC01. Available lengths are 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 4m (13ft), 5m (16ft) and 7m (23ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
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.
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.
