Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M Original 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to (4) 10GBASE-CU Passive Cable Assembly 3 meters w/o DOM Copper

Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M Original 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to (4) 10GBASE-CU Passive Cable Assembly 3 meters w/o DOM Copper

SKU: QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M

The Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M is a high-quality, passive copper cable assembly designed for robust networking performance. Spanning 3 meters in length, this original 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to four 10GBASE-CU cable facilitates seamless connectivity between networking equipment. It splits a single 40G QSFP+ port into four independent 10G SFP+ ports using direct attach copper (DAC) technology, making it ideal for short-range, high-density data transfers and connectivity solutions in data centers and networking infrastructures. This efficient and reliable solution ensures optimal signal integrity and superior networking performance without the need for optical transceivers, simplifying and streamlining your network setup.

Frequent Ask Questions
  • What is the Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M?

    The Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M is an original 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to 4x 10GBASE-CU passive cable assembly. It measures 3 meters in length and is constructed from copper.

  • What does the "passive cable assembly" mean?

    A passive cable assembly means that the cable does not contain any active electronics to boost the signal. It directly connects the QSFP+ port to the SFP+ ports without signal amplification.

  • What devices are compatible with the QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M cable?

    This cable is designed to be used with Cisco devices that have QSFP+ and SFP+ ports, allowing a connection between 40G QSFP+ and up to 4x 10G SFP+ ports.

  • What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?

    The maximum data transfer rate supported by the Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M is 40 Gbps for the QSFP+ end and 10 Gbps for each of the 4 SFP+ end ports.

  • How does this cable achieve data rate conversion?

    The cable takes 40GBase-CR4 signal from QSFP+ port and splits it into four separate 10GBase-CU signals for the SFP+ ports.

  • Is this cable hot-swappable?

    Yes, the Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M cable is hot-swappable, meaning it can be plugged in and removed without shutting down the system.

  • Does the cable support DOM functionality?

    No, the Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M does not support DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) functionality.

  • What is the build material of this cable?

    This cable is made from copper, ensuring high-quality connections and durability.
