Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0101 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Passive Copper Cable, 1m (3ft)

With a fixed 1m (3ft) cable and QSFP+ to QSFP+, the 40G-QSFP-C-0101 compatible assembly simplifies 40G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for Brocade equipment.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-C-0101HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-C-0101

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0101
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), 40G-QSFP-C-0101
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 35mm

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 35mm. 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), 40G-QSFP-C-0101 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.

40G-QSFP-C-0101 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-C-00501 at 0.5m (2ft) and 40G-QSFP-C-01501 at 1.5m (5ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. 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, QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

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.

Our compatibility setup for Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0101 is checked together with the physical 1m (3ft) assembly. Factory verification covers connector condition, host identification, error-free link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Providing the exact host model and firmware release helps us identify platform-specific requirements before production.

Use part number 40G-QSFP-C-0101 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.

Every 40G-QSFP-C-0101 compatible assembly undergoes link testing, compatibility verification and visual inspection. The 1m (3ft) cable is coiled without exceeding its minimum bend radius, fitted with connector protection and packed in an anti-static bag or protective tray before cartoning. Project labels and packing lists are available for volume orders.

Lead time for ordinary configurations is normally one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. We can arrange express courier or economy freight according to destination and carton volume, or hand the shipment to your appointed logistics provider.
