Dell Networking DAC-QSFP-4SFP-10G-7M Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Breakout Cable, 7m (23ft)

The DAC-QSFP-4SFP-10G-7M cable offers a direct QSFP+ to 4 SFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 7m (23ft) length and DAC construction are intended for Dell Networking equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Dell Networking DAC-QSFP-4SFP-10G-7M
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to 4 SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 7m (23ft), DAC-QSFP-4SFP-10G-7M
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 30mm

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 30mm. 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 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.

DAC-QSFP-4SFP-10G-7M is the longest of 7 verified length options in this family. Compared with 462-3633 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, 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.

Our compatibility setup for Dell Networking DAC-QSFP-4SFP-10G-7M is checked together with the physical 7m (23ft) 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 DAC-QSFP-4SFP-10G-7M with the required quantity. The 7m (23ft) 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.

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.
