Extreme Networks 40GB-C07-QSFP Compatible 40G QSFP+ Passive Copper Cable, 7m (23ft)

Designed for hosts that recognize 40GB-C07-QSFP, this QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable delivers 40G transmission over a fixed 7m (23ft) assembly. Its DAC construction provides a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords.

OEM Part Number: 40GB-C07-QSFPHT Part Number: 40GB-C07-QSFP

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Extreme Networks 40GB-C07-QSFP
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), 40GB-C07-QSFP
• 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.

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.

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.

40GB-C07-QSFP is the longest of 7 verified length options in this family. Compared with 10323 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.

Each 40GB-C07-QSFP compatible cable is powered up on a suitable test interface rather than checked only for continuity. We confirm the expected identification and observe electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Because operating systems can apply different qualification rules by hardware revision, the intended Extreme Networks platform should be included with the order.

Use part number 40GB-C07-QSFP for the 7m (23ft) 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.
