Add-On CAB-Q-S-1M-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ Direct Attach Cable
Overview
The Add-On CAB-Q-S-1M-AO is a 1-meter, TAA-compliant direct attach copper cable designed to break out a 40Gbps QSFP+ port into four independent 10Gbps SFP+ connections. This cable is critical for high-density server aggregation and switch-to-switch interconnects in data centers and enterprise networks where maximizing port utilization and minimizing cabling complexity are paramount. Its passive design means no power is required, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered for compatibility with Arista Networks QSFP+ ports and is designed to function in environments requiring TAA compliance. It enables direct connection between a 40Gbps QSFP+ port on one device and four 10Gbps SFP+ ports on another, commonly used for connecting servers to top-of-rack switches or linking multiple switches together. Verify compatibility with your specific network hardware vendor's documentation for QSFP+ to SFP+ breakout configurations.
Installation Notes
The CAB-Q-S-1M-AO features standard QSFP+ and SFP+ connectors that plug directly into their respective ports. Ensure the connectors are fully seated to establish a reliable connection. The 1-meter length is ideal for short-reach intra-rack connections, reducing cable clutter and improving airflow. No configuration is typically required; the cable is plug-and-play.
