40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ Passive DAC Copper Cable, 0.5m

Short 40-gigabit links inside the rack do not need optics, and this passive copper cable is the economical way to make them. The F-tone Networks FT-QSFPPLUS-0-5M-2 connects QSFP+ ports directly with 30AWG twinax, carrying 40 Gbps over 0.5 meters without transceivers or patch cords. Because it is passive, the cable draws no extra power and adds no latency beyond the copper itself. The cable is compatible with major switch platforms, including Avaya/Nortel, Arista and Extreme equivalents, making it a drop-in replacement for branded direct-attach cables. Rated for 0 to 70 °C operation, it suits links within a rack and across adjacent racks in data centers.
