Add-On ADD-Q4CIQ4JU-P2M 400Gbps QSFP-DD Direct Attach Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-Q4CIQ4JU-P2M is a 400Gbps QSFP-DD Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for high-density, short-reach interconnects within racks or between adjacent racks. This cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for connecting network devices like switches, routers, and servers, specifically engineered for compatibility with Juniper Networks equipment. Its passive design requires no power, simplifying deployment in environments demanding high bandwidth and minimal complexity. The ADD-Q4CIQ4JU-P2M ensures reliable data transmission for demanding data center applications.

Compatibility

This ADD-Q4CIQ4JU-P2M cable is verified for direct compatibility with Juniper Networks QSFP-DD ports. It is suitable for use with Juniper QFX series switches, PTX series routers, and other platforms supporting 400Gbps QSFP-DD interfaces. It is also compatible with standard 400GBASE-CU specifications, enabling integration into multi-vendor environments where QSFP-DD is utilized.

Installation Notes

The QSFP-DD connectors feature pull-tab latches for secure engagement and easy removal. Ensure the port is clean before insertion. The cable is passive, meaning it draws no power from the host device. For optimal performance and to prevent signal degradation, keep the bend radius of the cable to a minimum of 50mm (2 inches).
