Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0701 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Passive Copper Cable, 7m (23ft)

This HT cable matches the 40G-QSFP-C-0701 requirement for Brocade equipment. The 7m (23ft) assembly supports 40G operation and provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords; its complete electrical and mechanical details are listed below.

OEM Part Number: 40G-QSFP-C-0701HT Part Number: 40G-QSFP-C-0701

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Brocade 40G-QSFP-C-0701
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), 40G-QSFP-C-0701
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 47.5mm

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 47.5mm. 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.

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 extended 7m (23ft) reach supports connections across adjacent racks or between separated equipment rows. Secure the cable along its route, protect both ends from pull loads and preserve ventilation. The integrated DAC construction avoids a chain of separate modules and patch leads.

40G-QSFP-C-0701 is the longest of 7 verified length options in this family. Compared with 40G-QSFP-C-0501 at 5m (16ft), it provides 2m of additional reach for a longer vertical drop, a wider rack or an adjacent-cabinet route. Confirm that the complete path requires this length, because unused slack still needs supported, bend-safe storage.

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.

For this Brocade application, testing combines digital identification with actual traffic-link verification and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Both ends are inspected for latch, boot and connector damage. If the project uses a specific hardware revision or a channelized port, send those details so that the intended configuration can be reviewed before shipment.

When ordering, specify 40G-QSFP-C-0701, cable length 7m (23ft) and the host platform. This allows our team to verify both the physical assembly and the compatibility requirement before production. Neutral labeling and customer packing lists can be arranged for volume orders.

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.

Available stock is usually packed and handed to the carrier within one to three working days. Delivery can be arranged by international express, air cargo or sea freight, with tracking details supplied after dispatch. Freight-collect shipments and delivery to a customer warehouse or forwarder can also be coordinated.
