Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0201 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Passive Copper Cable, 2m (7ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize 40G-QSFP-C-0201, this QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 2m (7ft) assembly. Its DAC construction provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-C-0201HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-C-0201

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0201
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 2m (7ft), 40G-QSFP-C-0201
• 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.

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.

40G-QSFP-C-0201 provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

40G-QSFP-C-0201 occupies the middle of this family between 40G-QSFP-C-01501 at 1.5m (5ft) and 40G-QSFP-C-0301 at 3m (10ft). 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.

Our compatibility setup for Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0201 is checked together with the physical 2m (7ft) 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.

Quote HT part number 40G-QSFP-C-0201 with the required quantity. The 2m (7ft) length is fixed for this part number; if a different length is needed, select its corresponding page and OEM reference from the length list above. Standard HT labels and project-specific packaging are available.

Quality control includes connector appearance, cable identification and functional verification. Packing materials are selected to keep the connector housings and cable boots from taking impact during transport, and the coil is not compressed into an undersized bundle. Volume orders can include customer-specific labels and packing documentation.
