The 40G QSFP+ Active DAC, 7m (23ft) is a twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP+ to QSFP+, supporting 40Gbps links over a length of 7m (22.97ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, and complies with 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel.

Applications
The 40G QSFP+ Active DAC, 7m (23ft) connects QSFP+ to QSFP+ ports at 40Gbps in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is offered in 2 standard lengths from 7m (23ft) to 10m (33ft). 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-H40G-ACU7M.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-H40G-ACU7M and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel.
Ordering Information
Order this assembly under part number QSFP-40G-AC07. Available lengths are 7m (23ft) and 10m (33ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 26AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
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.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
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.
