Intellinet 40G QSFP+ Passive DAC Twinax Cable, 10 ft

Passive direct attach copper twinax cable with QSFP+ male connectors on both ends supports 40 Gbps links for short-range networking. The 10 ft AWG 30 design fits server ports and structured cabling where low latency and fewer components are needed. ^^ MSA-compliant QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable is designed to work with network switches that use QSFP+ ports. It supports data center and enterprise deployments and is a practical choice for short-distance 40G connections in rack and structured cabling setups. ^^ This 10 ft cable uses AWG 30 copper construction and a round black jacket for indoor use.

The passive DAC format provides a direct attach option for short reach applications, including server ports and other high-speed links where fiber is not required. ^^ Passive DAC design helps reduce power use to less than 0.1 W per end while supporting 40 Gbps data transfer. It offers a simpler setup than optical transceiver cables and avoids the separate transceivers needed for many fiber optic connections. ^^ Hot-swappable construction allows the cable to be replaced or upgraded without complex installation steps. That makes it useful for network maintenance, equipment changes, and other situations where quick handling of QSFP+ connections is preferred.

^^ Rated for operation up to 70C (158F), this twinax cable is intended for environments that need stable short-range connectivity. The passive design produces zero heat during operation according to the product specifications and supports indoor networking ^^ A direct attach copper alternative to fiber optic cabling and RJ45 connections, this cable is suited for short-distance 40G networking. It is listed as equivalent to the Cisco QSFP-H40G-CU3M DAC cable and includes one passive DAC twinax cable.
