Juniper Networks JNP-QSFP-DACBO-5MA Compatible 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Active Copper Breakout Cable, 5m (16ft)

The JNP-QSFP-DACBO-5MA cable offers a direct QSFP+ to SFP+ connection at 40Gbps. Its 5m (16ft) length and ACC construction are intended for Juniper Networks equipment, with no separate transceiver-and-patch-cord assembly required.

Juniper platform documentation distinguishes straight QSFP28 DAC or AOC connections from DACBO and AOCBO breakout operation. On channelized systems, the host port must be configured for the required breakout mode. Match this HT compatible cable to the exact Juniper part number and the intended platform configuration.

The rated power consumption is ≤1.8W. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

This assembly uses 28AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 40mm. 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-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

The QSFP+ to 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.

The 5m (16ft) length gives JNP-QSFP-DACBO-5MA more freedom for adjacent-rack and row-end deployments. Longer copper runs need particular attention to routing weight and bend control; the ACC specification and host support must still match the intended link.

JNP-QSFP-DACBO-5MA occupies the middle of this family between JNP-QSFP-DACBO-3MA at 3m (10ft) and JNP-QSFP-DACBO-7MA at 7m (23ft). It adds 2m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 2m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

Compatibility is more than matching the QSFP+ to SFP+ shape. This assembly is prepared for hosts expecting JNP-QSFP-DACBO-5MA and is checked for identification, stable link behavior and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. We recommend confirming the equipment model and software release for critical deployments or mixed-vendor installations.

This product is ordered as JNP-QSFP-DACBO-5MA in 5m (16ft). Include the equipment model and software release if you would like a pre-order compatibility review. Other lengths use different part numbers and should not be substituted into the same order line.

HT inspects and tests every completed cable before it enters finished stock. Protective caps or covers are fitted where applicable, followed by anti-static or tray packaging and an outer carton. Custom labels can cross-reference the customer part number, JNP-QSFP-DACBO-5MA and the 5m (16ft) length for easier inventory control.

Stock items are generally dispatched within one to three working days after order confirmation. DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT and EMS are available for international delivery; larger consolidated orders can move by air or sea freight. Customer courier accounts and nominated forwarders are accepted.
