Product Description

This direct-attach breakout cable converts a single QSFP port into four separate SFP+ connections, making it easier to connect multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet devices within a rack or data center.

Often used in data center environments, it's built for network engineers needing efficient, short-range connections without the complexity of optical transceivers.

Key Features

  • Provides four independent 10G links from one QSFP port
  • Simple plug-and-play setup with Cisco equipment
  • Reduces need for additional transceivers and fiber cables
  • Compact and flexible cable design for tight spaces
  • Operates reliably over distances up to 1 meter

This cable is typically installed inside server racks, linking high-performance switches to servers or storage units. It streamlines cabling while supporting high-speed data transfer within a confined space.


Use Cases

The QSFP-4SFP10G-CU1M cable is predominantly utilized in high-density data center environments where consolidating multiple 10G Ethernet connections is crucial. Network engineers and system integrators leverage this cable to optimize switch port utilization and reduce cabling complexity in environments requiring efficient, low-latency interconnects.

How It's Used:

  • Breaking out a single QSFP port into four independent 10G SFP+ links within enterprise virtualization infrastructure.
  • Facilitating high-performance connectivity in storage area networks (SANs) where multiple 10G connections aggregate from a single QSFP port.
  • Deploying in hyper-scale data centers to maximize switch port density while maintaining low power consumption.
  • Connecting top-of-rack switches to multiple servers in cloud computing environments requiring scalable bandwidth.
  • Supporting edge computing nodes where compact, efficient cabling solutions minimize rack space usage.

This breakout cable supports operational efficiency by enabling flexible network scaling without additional transceivers, reducing capital and operational expenses. Its design ensures reliable, low-latency connections that align with demanding workloads and evolving data center architectures.
