Add-On FCBN510QE2C07-AO 40G QSFP+ to 4xSFP+ Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On FCBN510QE2C07-AO is a TAA-compliant, 40GBASE-AOC direct attach cable assembly. It terminates in a QSFP+ connector on one end, breaking out to four independent SFP+ connectors on the other. This cable is designed for high-density, short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks, commonly found in data centers and enterprise network closets where high-speed aggregation is required. It provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for connecting 40GbE switches or network interface cards (NICs) to 10GbE devices.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for compatibility with Finisar FCBN510QE2C07 transceivers and is suitable for use in network equipment that supports standard QSFP+ and SFP+ interfaces. It is designed to be plug-and-play with a wide range of network switches, routers, and servers from major manufacturers, provided they adhere to QSFP+ and SFP+ standards. Its TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and military installations.

Installation Notes

Direct attach cables require no configuration. Ensure the QSFP+ connector is fully seated in the 40GbE port and the four SFP+ connectors are fully seated in their respective 10GbE ports. Verify port compatibility and speed settings within your network device's operating system if issues arise. The cable's bend radius should be respected to avoid signal degradation; avoid sharp bends.
