Description

Add-On CBL-QSFP-40GE-20M-AO 40Gbps QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On CBL-QSFP-40GE-20M-AO is a 20-meter TAA-compliant 40GBASE-AOC QSFP+ Direct Attach Cable. It provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for high-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet connections within racks or between adjacent racks. This cable is designed for direct connection between QSFP+ ports, eliminating the need for transceivers and fiber optic cabling for short-reach applications.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with Dell Force10 switches and other network devices featuring QSFP+ ports. It is suitable for connecting network switches, servers, and high-performance computing equipment that require 40GbE connectivity. Verify compatibility with your specific network hardware vendor's documentation for QSFP+ DAC cables.

Installation Notes

Ensure the QSFP+ ports on both devices are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for plug-and-play installation. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable to maintain signal integrity. Operating temperature range is critical for reliable performance; consult the manufacturer's specifications for environmental limits.
