The Add-On CAB-Q-S-5M-AO is a TAA-compliant direct attach copper cable designed to break out a 40GbE QSFP+ port into four independent 10GbE SFP+ connections. This cable is critical for network infrastructure where you need to connect high-density 40GbE switch uplinks to multiple 10GbE server ports or network interface cards, optimizing port utilization and reducing the need for separate transceivers and patch cords. Its passive design means no power is required, simplifying deployment in dense rack environments.
This cable is engineered for compatibility with Arista Networks QSFP+ ports and other networking equipment utilizing the QSFP+ form factor. It is specifically designed to connect a 40GbE QSFP+ interface on a switch or router to four 10GbE SFP+ interfaces on servers, storage devices, or other network appliances. It functions as a passive breakout solution, meaning it does not require active components or power from the host equipment.
The CAB-Q-S-5M-AO features a 5-meter length, providing ample reach for typical rack-to-rack or within-rack connections. The QSFP+ connector plugs into the 40GbE port, and the four SFP+ connectors attach to the corresponding 10GbE ports. Ensure the QSFP+ port on your switch supports breakout mode for this configuration to function correctly. The passive copper construction ensures reliable signal integrity over its specified length without the need for external power.
