Black Box QSFP-H40G-CU3M-BB 40-Gbps Direct Attach Cable
Overview
The Black Box QSFP-H40G-CU3M-BB is a 3-meter (9.8-ft.) direct attach copper cable designed for high-speed 40-Gbps network connections. This cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency solution for short-reach applications, such as connecting switches within a rack or between adjacent racks in a data center environment. It offers a plug-and-play experience, eliminating the need for separate transceivers and fiber optic cabling.
Compatibility
This QSFP+ DAC cable is engineered to be compatible with Cisco QSFP-H40G-CU3M configurations. It is suitable for use with network switches, servers, and storage devices that feature QSFP+ ports supporting 40-Gbps Ethernet or InfiniBand connections. Verify your network equipment's QSFP+ port specifications for direct attach cable support.
Installation Notes
Ensure the QSFP+ ports on both connected devices are clean and free of debris before inserting the cable. The cable is designed for passive operation, drawing power directly from the host equipment. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage.
