Description

Add-On CAB-Q-S-2M-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On CAB-Q-S-2M-AO is a TAA-compliant, 2-meter direct attach copper cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise networking. It terminates in a QSFP+ connector on one end, breaking out to four independent SFP+ connectors on the other. This cable is critical for connecting 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) ports on switches or network interface cards (NICs) to multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) SFP+ ports, enabling efficient bandwidth aggregation and cost-effective network segmentation. Its passive design requires no power, simplifying deployment in any rack environment.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with Arista Networks QSFP+ ports and SFP+ ports. It functions as a direct replacement for Arista Networks CAB-Q-S-2M, providing equivalent connectivity for switch-to-switch uplinks, server aggregation, and high-performance computing clusters. It is suitable for environments requiring TAA compliance.

Installation Notes

Ensure the QSFP+ connector is fully seated into the 40GbE port and the four SFP+ connectors are properly inserted into their respective 10GbE ports. The passive nature of this cable means it draws power from the host equipment, so verify that the connected ports support the necessary power requirements for SFP+ modules.
