Product Description

This 40GbE QSFP+ to 4x10GbE SFP+ breakout cable splits a single 40-gigabit Ethernet connection into four separate 10-gigabit Ethernet links. It is commonly used in data centers and networking environments where multiple 10GbE connections are needed from a higher-speed QSFP+ port.

Built for network administrators and IT professionals, this passive copper cable is ideal for short-distance connections and provides a cost-effective way to increase port density without extra switches or converters.

Key Features

  • Delivers reliable 40GbE to 10GbE breakout functionality with minimal signal loss
  • Uses passive copper for energy efficiency and reduced heat generation
  • Compatible with a wide range of Mellanox and industry-standard switches and servers
  • 3 meters of cable length for flexible rack or cabinet setups
  • Plug-and-play design simplifies installation and maintenance

This breakout cable is typically deployed within racks to connect high-speed uplinks to multiple 10GbE devices, helping optimize existing hardware. It provides a straightforward solution for expanding network capacity in demanding environments without adding complexity.


Use Cases

This cable is suited for scenarios requiring high-speed network segmentation and aggregation.

How It's Used:

  • Breaking out a single 40GbE QSFP port into four 10GbE SFP+ ports in data center switches
  • Connecting high-performance servers to multiple 10GbE network devices
  • Facilitating network traffic management in storage area networks (SANs)
  • Implementing efficient network upgrades without replacing existing infrastructure
  • Reducing cabling complexity in high-density rack environments

Its passive nature and reliable performance make it a practical choice for IT professionals managing complex network topologies requiring flexible and efficient connectivity.
