40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft)
The 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a 40Gbps copper connection between QSFP+ to SFP+ ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments.

Applications
In 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, the 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Active Breakout DAC, 1m (3ft) provides a factory terminated 40Gbps link between QSFP+ to SFP+ ports. This unit is delivered in 5 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 9m (29ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Compatibility with Cisco systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QSFP-4X10G-AC1M.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-4X10G-AC1M and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers SFF-8431, SFF-8432, SFF-8472 SFP+ MSA, SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA.
Ordering Information
The ordering part number is QSFP-40G-4SAC01. We make this cable in 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft) and 9m (29ft). Special lengths outside this range can be produced to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
OEM and Custom Orders
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
Delivery
Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.
Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.
Packaging Options
Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.
