Product Description

The QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M is a 3-meter direct-attach copper breakout cable that converts one QSFP+ port into four SFP+ ports. It is commonly used in data centers and network racks where multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections are needed from a single 40 Gigabit QSFP+ port.

Built for short-distance, high-speed connections, this cable is often found in setups requiring efficient port aggregation or migration from 40G to 10G links. Network administrators and engineers benefit from its simplicity and reliability when managing bandwidth-intensive applications.

Key Features

  • Breaks out one 40G QSFP+ port into four independent 10G SFP+ links
  • 3-meter length ideal for rack-to-rack connections
  • Low latency and power consumption compared to optical modules
  • Plug-and-play design reduces complexity in network configurations
  • Durable copper construction ensures stable performance in dense environments

This cable is typically deployed in enterprise data centers and high-performance computing clusters where space and cost savings matter. It plays a crucial role in enabling flexible network topologies without sacrificing speed or reliability.


Use Cases

The QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M cable is commonly deployed in network environments where high-density, short-reach aggregation is required. It is ideal for IT teams managing data centers or enterprise racks that need to efficiently split 40G uplinks into multiple 10G links without adding additional transceivers or modules.

How It's Used:

  • Breaking out 40G QSFP+ ports into four separate 10G SFP+ connections in virtualization-heavy data centers.
  • Connecting server racks to top-of-rack switches in enterprise IT environments supporting high-throughput applications.
  • Facilitating edge computing deployments where space constraints demand compact, low-latency copper cabling solutions.
  • Linking storage clusters that require multiple 10G connections aggregated from a single 40G port to optimize infrastructure.
  • Implementing cost-efficient, short-distance connectivity within SMB networks needing scalable bandwidth allocation.

This cable enhances operational efficiency by reducing the complexity of managing multiple individual links while maintaining performance integrity in dense rack environments. It supports scalable network architectures by enabling flexible port breakout options without compromising latency or signal quality.
