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 made 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
This product is designed and tested to comply with SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA. It is interoperable with Cisco equipment and serves as a direct equivalent to the Cisco part number QSFP-4X10G-AC1M.
Ordering Information
The part number for this assembly is QSFP-40G-4SAC01. We offer this cable in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Other lengths can be custom manufactured on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
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.
