Description

StarTech QSFPH40GCU1M 40Gbps Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The StarTech QSFPH40GCU1M is a 1-meter (3.3 ft) passive direct attach cable designed for high-speed network interconnects. It provides a cost-effective solution for short-reach 40 Gigabit Ethernet applications, such as connecting switches, servers, or network interface cards within a rack or between adjacent racks. This cable ensures reliable data transmission at 40Gbps without requiring external power, minimizing complexity and power consumption.

Compatibility

This cable is built to be 100% Cisco QSFP-H40G-CU1M compatible, ensuring seamless integration with Cisco networking equipment and other systems utilizing QSFP+ ports. It is suitable for environments requiring direct connections between devices with QSFP+ interfaces, commonly found in data centers and high-performance computing clusters.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F), making it suitable for standard rack environments. Each end consumes less than 0.1W, contributing to overall power efficiency. The 100 Ohm impedance is standard for high-speed digital signaling. Storage temperature range is -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F).
