Direct-Attach Cables

Single-connection cables provide a 40-Gbps (4 x 10-Gbps) bidirectional copper or optical connection between unpopulated QSFP+ ports.

Fan-out cables provide four 10-Gbps bidirectional copper connections to a single QSFP+port.

These cables are available in lengths from 0.5meter to 100 meters and are terminated in connectors that are inserted directly into the QSFP+ or SFP+ cages in place of optical modules.

The following table lists the available QSFP+ direct-attach cables and their model numbers.
