40G QSFP+ Active DAC, 7m (23ft)
The 40G QSFP+ Active DAC, 7m (23ft) is a twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP+ to QSFP+, supporting 40Gbps links over a length of 7m (22.97ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, and complies with 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel.

Applications
The 40G QSFP+ Active DAC, 7m (23ft) is a 40Gbps active copper cable for QSFP+ to QSFP+ connections in 40G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is delivered in 2 standard lengths from 7m (23ft) to 10m (33ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. It is interoperable with Cisco platforms and replaces the Cisco part QSFP-H40G-ACU7M directly.
Standards and Compatibility
On the compatibility side, this unit is the practical equivalent of the Cisco part QSFP-H40G-ACU7M and works in Cisco systems out of the box. Standards compliance covers 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel.
Ordering Information
The ordering part number is QSFP-40G-AC07. We make this cable in 7m (23ft) and 10m (33ft). Special lengths outside this range can be produced to order. Wire gauge: 26AWG.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
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.
Packing Details
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
