Brief Introduction
The CVR-QSFP-SFP10G is a high-speed breakout cable assembly that converts a single 40G QSFP+ port into four independent 10G SFP+ connections, enabling efficient bandwidth aggregation and network scalability in data centers and enterprise environments.
Detailed Description
This passive direct-attach copper (DAC) cable features a QSFP+ connector on one end and four SFP+ connectors on the opposite end, delivering 40G to 4x10G connectivity without signal conversion. Compliant with SFF-8436 and IEEE 802.3 standards, it supports hot-swappable installation, ultra-low latency (<0.1ns), and distances up to 5m. Ideal for linking switches to servers, storage systems, or top-of-rack deployments while reducing costs versus optical solutions.
Key Features
40G-to-4x10G Breakout: Split QSFP+ ports into four SFP+ channels
Passive Copper Design: Zero power consumption (<0.1W), no signal conversion
Cost Efficiency: 60% lower cost than active optical cables (AOC)
Broad Compatibility: Cisco Nexus, Arista 7050X, Juniper QFX, D ell PowerSwitch
Low Latency: <0.1ns delay for HFT and real-time analytics
Plug-and-Play: Tool-free installation with latching connectors
