This Lenovo 5m DAC Break Out cable splits a 40GbE QSFP+ port into four 10GbE SFP+ connections, allowing efficient aggregation and distribution of high-speed network links. It's often found in data centers where multiple 10GbE connections are needed from a single 40GbE uplink.

Built for network engineers and IT professionals managing high-throughput environments, it simplifies cabling by combining multiple lanes into a single cable assembly. The active optical design ensures signal integrity over longer distances compared to copper alternatives.

Key Features

• Converts one 40GbE QSFP+ connection into four 10GbE SFP+ links
• 5 meters length supports flexible rack setups
• Active optical cable reduces signal loss over fiber
• Compatible with Lenovo networking gear and standard SFP+ devices
• Ensures low latency and high bandwidth for demanding applications

This cable is typically deployed in server racks, switches, and storage arrays where high-speed breakout connections are needed. It helps optimize network topology while maintaining reliable performance without extra transceivers.

Using an active optical breakout cable like this one reduces clutter and simplifies maintenance in busy network environments, making upgrades and expansions easier for administrators.
