Description

Add-On CAB-Q-S-3M-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On CAB-Q-S-3M-AO is a 3-meter TAA-compliant direct attach copper cable designed to break out a 40Gbps QSFP+ port into four independent 10Gbps SFP+ connections. This cable is essential for connecting high-density switch uplinks or server connections where you need to aggregate multiple 10Gbps links from a single 40Gbps port, commonly found in data center and enterprise network aggregation layers. Its passive design means no power is required, simplifying deployment.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with Arista Networks QSFP+ ports and is designed to work with any network device utilizing standard QSFP+ and SFP+ interfaces. It is suitable for use with switches, routers, and servers that support 40GBASE-CR4 and 10GBASE-SR/LR standards for the respective QSFP+ and SFP+ ends. It is also TAA compliant, meeting requirements for government and certain enterprise procurements.

Installation Notes

Ensure the QSFP+ connector is fully seated in the 40Gbps port and the four SFP+ connectors are securely inserted into the 10Gbps ports. The cable's passive nature requires no additional configuration or power. Verify that the connected devices support the appropriate breakout configurations for 40Gbps QSFP+ to 4x10Gbps SFP+.
