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 extended 10m (33ft) 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.

QFX-QSFP-DAC-10MA is the longest of 2 verified length options in this family. Compared with QFX-QSFP-DAC-7MA at 7m (23ft), it provides 3m 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.

This assembly uses 26AWG 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 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. 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 assembly is configured for equipment that recognizes QFX-QSFP-DAC-10MA. Before shipment, we inspect both connectors and verify identification, link establishment and electrical continuity, link stability and diagnostic readouts. Host hardware and firmware revisions can affect third-party cable acceptance, so customers can provide the equipment model and software release for a pre-order compatibility review.

Quote HT part number QFX-QSFP-DAC-10MA with the required quantity. The 10m (33ft) 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.

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, QFX-QSFP-DAC-10MA and the 10m (33ft) 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.
