QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT 40G QSFP+ to 1 x 10G SFP+ Passive Copper Cable, 2m (7ft)

With a fixed 2m (7ft) cable and QSFP+ to SFP+, the QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT compatible assembly simplifies 40G deployment. It is manufactured and tested by HT for multi-vendor equipment.

OEM Part Number: QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FTHT Part Number: QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT

Product Highlights

• HT-manufactured DAC assembly in 2m (7ft)
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to SFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 2m (7ft), QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT
• Cable construction: Passive Twinax
• Conductor specification: 26AWG
• Maximum power consumption: 0.1W Per End
• Minimum bend radius: 28mm

The rated power consumption is 0.1W Per End. 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.

QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft) and QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

This assembly uses 26AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 28mm. 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-8636, SFF-8472. 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.

QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

The HT cable carries the compatibility configuration associated with QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT, while its mechanical assembly remains the fixed 2m (7ft) version described here. Incoming inspection, connector examination and a live link test are completed before packing. Customers with unusually old or new Generic software can request a pre-order check.

This product is ordered as QSFP+ to SFP+-40G-DAC-2M7FT in 2m (7ft). 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.

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.

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.
