Description

StarTech QSFPH40GAC10 40Gbps Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The StarTech QSFPH40GAC10 is a 10-meter, 40Gbps direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed for high-speed network connections. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for short-reach applications, such as connecting network switches, servers, or storage devices within a rack or between adjacent racks. This cable is engineered to be 100% Cisco QSFP-H40G-ACU10M compatible, ensuring seamless integration into Cisco environments and other QSFP+ enabled systems. The 24 AWG wire gauge and 100 Ohm impedance support reliable data transmission at 40 Gbps.

Compatibility

This QSFP+ DAC cable is compatible with any networking equipment featuring QSFP+ ports, including switches, routers, servers, and network interface cards (NICs) that support 40 Gigabit Ethernet. It is specifically designed to be a direct replacement for Cisco's QSFP-H40G-ACU10M cable, making it suitable for Cisco Nexus and Catalyst switches, as well as other enterprise-grade networking hardware requiring QSFP+ connectivity.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, suitable for standard data center environments. Storage temperatures can range from -40°C to 80°C. The PVC jacket provides flexibility and durability for installation. The cable's dimensions are 1.4 cm in width and 1.2 cm in height, with a total length of 10 meters. The unit weight is 520.0 g.
