40G QSFP+ Active DAC

The 40G QSFP+ Active DAC, 7m (23ft) is a twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP+ to QSFP+, supporting 40Gbps links over a length of 7m (22.97ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, and complies with 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel.

Product Highlights

• QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Data rate: 40Gbps
• Length: 2 standard options from 7m (23ft) to 10m (33ft)
• Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F)

In 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, the 40G QSFP+ Active DAC, 7m (23ft) provides a factory terminated 40Gbps link between QSFP+ to QSFP+ ports. This unit is available in 2 standard lengths from 7m (23ft) to 10m (33ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. It is interoperable with Cisco platforms and replaces the Cisco part QSFP-H40G-ACU7M directly.

Compliance: 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel. For projects standardized on Cisco hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-H40G-ACU7M directly, with identical fit and function. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.

The standard part number of this assembly is QSFP-40G-AC07. We supply this cable in 7m (23ft) and 10m (33ft). Custom lengths beyond this range can also be produced on request. Wire gauge: 26AWG.

Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.

Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.

Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.

Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
