Black Box QSFP-H40G-CU2M-BB Direct Attach Cable
Overview
The Black Box QSFP-H40G-CU2M-BB is a 2-meter direct attach copper cable designed for high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) connectivity. This cable is engineered for short-reach applications, typically within a single rack or between adjacent racks in a data center environment. It provides a cost-effective, low-power solution for connecting switches, servers, or other QSFP+ enabled network devices where fiber optic cabling is not required. The QSFP-H40G-CU2M-BB features male connectors on both ends, simplifying direct connections without the need for intermediate transceivers.
Compatibility
This QSFP+ direct attach cable is compatible with any network device featuring standard QSFP+ ports. This includes a wide range of 40GbE switches, routers, and network interface cards (NICs) from various manufacturers that adhere to the QSFP+ MSA (Multi-Source Agreement). It is suitable for use with enterprise-grade networking equipment commonly found in server rooms and data centers.
Installation Notes
The QSFP-H40G-CU2M-BB requires no configuration; simply plug the QSFP+ connectors into the corresponding ports on your network equipment. Ensure the ports are clean and free of debris before insertion. The cable is designed for a maximum bend radius of 25mm to prevent damage to the internal conductors. For optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable.
