Product Description |
|---|
This Cisco 3-meter passive breakout cable connects a 100G QSFP port to four separate 25G SFP ports, offering a convenient way to split high-speed signals into multiple lanes. It's often used in data centers and high-performance computing environments to simplify network architecture and improve flexibility. Built for network engineers and IT professionals, this cable is commonly found in switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections where breaking out 100G into smaller 25G channels is necessary. Its passive copper design means it doesn't require additional power, making it reliable and efficient for dense network deployments. Key Features
This cable is typically deployed within enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and service provider networks. It helps maintain high throughput while offering flexibility to connect different devices with varying speed requirements. The passive copper cable is especially useful for short-distance connections where minimizing latency and power draw matters. |
Use Cases |
|---|
The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M cable is primarily utilized in data center environments where high-bandwidth 100G QSFP ports require segmentation into multiple 25G SFP lanes. Network architects and system integrators leverage this solution to optimize port density and improve network flexibility without introducing active components. How It's Used:
This passive copper breakout cable enhances operational efficiency by simplifying physical layer connectivity and reducing power overhead. Its capability to convert a single high-speed interface into multiple lanes supports scalable network designs and maintains signal integrity across short distances in complex infrastructure setups. |
