Brief Introduction
The CVR-QSFP-SFP10G is a high-speed breakout cable assembly that
converts a single 40G QSFP+ port into four independent 10G SFP+
connections, enabling efficient bandwidth aggregation and network
scalability in data centers and enterprise environments.
Detailed Description
This passive direct-attach copper (DAC) cable features a QSFP+
connector on one end and four SFP+ connectors on the opposite end,
delivering 40G to 4x10G connectivity without signal conversion.
Compliant with SFF-8436 and IEEE 802.3 standards, it supports
hot-swappable installation, ultra-low latency (<0.1ns), and
distances up to 5m. Ideal for linking switches to servers, storage
systems, or top-of-rack deployments while reducing costs versus
optical solutions.
Key Features
40G-to-4x10G Breakout: Split QSFP+ ports into four SFP+ channels
Passive Copper Design: Zero power consumption (<0.1W), no signal
conversion
Cost Efficiency: 60% lower cost than active optical cables (AOC)
Broad Compatibility: Cisco Nexus, Arista 7050X, Juniper QFX, D ell
PowerSwitch
Low Latency: <0.1ns delay for HFT and real-time analytics
Plug-and-Play: Tool-free installation with latching connectors
