Extreme Networks 10202 Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 1m (3ft)

This 1m (3ft) DAC cable is built for Extreme Networks equipment requiring the 10202 interface. The 40Gbps link uses QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ and is supplied as one complete tested assembly.

OEM Part Number: 10202HT Part Number: 10202

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Extreme Networks 10202
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), 10202
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 21mm

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 21mm. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

At 1m (3ft), 10202 is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

10202 occupies the middle of this family between 10GB-4-C50-QSFP at 0.5m (2ft) and 10203 at 2m (7ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFF-8436, SFF-8431 and QSFP+ MSA. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ configuration divides the high-speed interface into multiple lower-speed connections. Verify the upstream lane assignment, downstream port speeds and breakout setting on the host before connecting the assembly. Each branch must attach to the correct remote interface.

A passive DAC has no separate optical conversion stage. Its low-power, low-latency operation is useful for short equipment links, but the assembly must remain within the length and signaling mode accepted by both hosts.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with 10202, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 1m (3ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Extreme Networks software can request a pre-order check.

Use part number 10202 for the 1m (3ft) assembly. For mixed-length projects, list each required part number and quantity separately so that every cable can be tested and packed according to its intended installation.

Production inspection covers both physical condition and a live link check. Connector ends receive individual protection, and the completed assembly is packed without tight ties or sharp bends. For multi-length projects, cartons can be separated and labelled by OEM part number to simplify installation on site.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
