Product Description

This 3-meter QSFP+ Direct-Attach Twinaxial Cable facilitates 40 Gigabit Ethernet connections with reliable and consistent performance. Built for short-distance interconnects, it is commonly used to link switches, routers, and servers within racks or across adjacent racks in data centers.

Often found in environments where high-speed, low-latency connectivity is essential, this cable suits network administrators and IT professionals managing dense network setups. Its passive copper design provides an energy-efficient and straightforward solution without requiring additional transceivers.

Key Features

  • Supports 40Gbps data rates suitable for modern data center needs
  • Compatible with Cisco QSFP ports ensuring seamless integration
  • Passive copper twinax cable reduces power consumption compared to active alternatives
  • 3 meters length allows flexible placement within server racks
  • Stable signal integrity for short-range connectivity

This cable is typically deployed inside server rooms or data centers where equipment racks are close together. It enables fast communication between critical network devices while keeping power use low and setup simple. By using direct-attach cables like this one, operators can maintain manageable cable runs and reliable links without complex hardware on each end.


Use Cases

The QSFP-H40G-CU3M cable is typically deployed in high-density data center racks where short-distance, high-speed connections are essential. IT professionals managing server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in virtualization or cloud computing environments benefit from its low latency and power efficiency.

How It's Used:

  • Connecting top-of-rack switches to servers in hyper-converged infrastructure setups within enterprise data centers.
  • Facilitating high-throughput links between storage clusters and compute nodes in HPC (High Performance Computing) environments.
  • Interlinking network devices in colocation facilities requiring minimal signal loss over short distances.
  • Supporting leaf-spine architecture in cloud service provider networks to maintain low latency traffic flow.
  • Implementing fast, energy-efficient connections in edge computing sites with space and power constraints.

This cable enhances operational efficiency by providing reliable, high-speed connectivity that supports scalability in dense network topologies. Its passive copper design reduces power consumption while maintaining optimal performance for critical data center applications.
