QSFP-H40G-CU1M Overview
The QSFP-H40G-CU1M is a 40 Gigabit Ethernet passive copper cable that provides high-speed 40G connectivity over very short distances. It utilizes four lanes of 10.3 Gbps signaling per lane to achieve an aggregate throughput of 40 Gbps. This direct attach copper cable offers a cost-effective means of connecting 40G QSFP+ ports within racks in data centers, eliminating the need for active transceivers and fiber cables.
With its 1-meter cable length, the QSFP-H40G-CU1M is designed for interconnecting 40G ports between servers, switches, and fabric extenders within a rack. It provides maximum flexibility for equipment layouts and easy cabling between adjacent devices. The passive design also makes it a power-efficient solution.
