Product Description

This 7-meter QSFP-H40G-ACU7M cable is designed to provide a high-speed 40 Gbps connection using the 40GBASE-CR4 standard. It commonly serves as a direct-attach copper cable in data centers and high-performance computing environments where fast, reliable short-range connectivity is required.

Built for network engineers and IT professionals, it often appears in setups requiring efficient server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links without the need for transceivers. The cable's plug-and-play capability makes it straightforward to deploy and maintain.

Key Features

  • Supports 40 Gbps throughput with 40GBASE-CR4 standard
  • 7 meters length allows flexible rack-to-rack or within-rack connections
  • Direct-attach copper design reduces latency compared to optical alternatives
  • Compatible with Cisco QSFP+ ports, ensuring easy integration
  • Low power consumption compared to active cables

Typically, this cable is deployed in enterprise data centers and server rooms to interconnect switches or connect network interface cards directly. Its reliability and speed contribute to minimizing bottlenecks in high-traffic environments.

Field technicians value its durability and consistent performance, making it a dependable choice for maintaining high-speed links in critical network infrastructure.


Use Cases

The QSFP-H40G-ACU7M cable is commonly deployed in high-density data centers and enterprise network environments where 40 Gbps connectivity is required between Cisco QSFP+ ports. It is particularly suited for scenarios demanding low latency and reliable short-distance connections without the overhead of additional optical transceivers.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches in data centers to support virtualization workloads.
  • Linking storage clusters in enterprise IT environments where high throughput and low latency are critical.
  • Facilitating high-speed interconnects in HPC (high-performance computing) clusters within research institutions.
  • Supporting edge computing setups requiring robust, short-range 40G connectivity between network devices.
  • Enabling port-to-port connections in SMB networks that utilize Cisco QSFP+ infrastructure for cost-effective scaling.

This direct-attach copper cable streamlines network cabling by eliminating the need for separate transceivers, supporting efficient rack deployments and enhanced overall system performance. Its design promotes scalability and operational simplicity in environments where rapid data transfer and reliable connectivity are essential.
