Add-On MA-CBL-40G-3M-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable
Overview
The Add-On MA-CBL-40G-3M-AO is a 3-meter, TAA-compliant, 40GBASE-CU QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach copper cable. This cable is designed for short-reach, high-speed network interconnections, commonly used between switches, servers, or network interface cards within a rack or adjacent racks. Its passive copper design eliminates the need for power, simplifying deployment and reducing potential points of failure in demanding data center or enterprise environments.
Compatibility
This cable is engineered to be compatible with Cisco Meraki equipment requiring a 40Gbps QSFP+ connection, including but not limited to switches in the MS series and MX series appliances. It adheres to the QSFP+ MSA standard, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network hardware from various manufacturers that support 40GbE connectivity via QSFP+ ports.
Installation Notes
Ensure the QSFP+ ports on both connected devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable's connectors are designed for a secure, latching connection. Pull on the connector body, not the cable, when disconnecting. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C (32°F to 158°F).
