Intel XLDACBL1 Compatible 40G QSFP+ Passive Copper Cable, 1m (3ft)

The HT-manufactured XLDACBL1 compatible cable provides 40G connectivity for Intel equipment. This 1m (3ft) version is a factory-terminated passive copper link without separate optical modules or patch cords, with an exact part number and length that can be matched directly to the equipment requirement.

OEM Part Number: XLDACBL1HT Part Number: XLDACBL1

Product Highlights

• Compatible alternative to Intel XLDACBL1
• 40G connectivity at 40Gbps
• Interface configuration: QSFP+ to QSFP+
• Fixed length and part number: 1m (3ft), XLDACBL1
• Conductor specification: 30AWG
• Minimum bend radius: 35mm

This assembly uses 30AWG conductors, PVC (OFNR) jacket, minimum bend radius 35mm. 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.

At 1m (3ft), XLDACBL1 is a practical choice for direct connections within one rack. Route the cable along the intended management path rather than pulling it diagonally across adjacent connectors, and leave enough clearance for insertion, removal and front-panel airflow.

XLDACBL1 occupies the middle of this family between XLDACBL05 at 0.5m (2ft) and XLDACBL05 at 1.5m (5ft). It adds 0.5m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 0.5m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

The intended application is determined by the host interface and protocol support. Listed interface and protocol references include SFF-8436, QSFP+ MSA and IEEE 802.3ba. 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.

Our compatibility setup for Intel XLDACBL1 is checked together with the physical 1m (3ft) 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 XLDACBL1 with the required quantity. The 1m (3ft) 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.

Before packing, our team checks the cable jacket, connector boots, latches and identification of each assembly. The cable is then secured in a loose coil and protected against dust and connector impact. Neutral packaging, customer part-number labels and project-specific carton lists can be supplied on request.
