FAQ Section

What is a 40G QSFP+ DAC cable used for?

A 40G QSFP+ DAC cable is used for short-distance connections between compatible switches, servers, network adapters and storage systems equipped with 40G QSFP+ ports.

What lengths are available for the 40G passive DAC cable?

Available lengths depend on the selected product configuration. Passive DAC cables are designed for short-distance intra-rack and adjacent-rack connections.

Does the cable require separate optical transceivers?

No. The QSFP+ connectors and twinax copper cable form one integrated assembly, so separate optical transceivers and fiber cables are not required.

Is the cable compatible with Cisco equipment?

The Cisco compatible 40G DAC cable can be programmed for supported Cisco switches and network devices. Compatibility should be confirmed according to the exact equipment model and software version.
