The JBX05222 3-meter 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to SFP+ Direct Attach Copper Cable represents an industry-standard solution for high-speed data center interconnectivity. Engineered as a passive breakout DAC, this cable eliminates the need for costly active components while maintaining exceptional performance for 40GB Ethernet transmission. Key Features & Specifications: This cable delivers 40 gigabits per second of bandwidth utilizing passive copper technology, making it an economical choice for organizations deploying Dell-compatible infrastructure. The 30AWG twinax copper construction ensures superior signal quality and minimal attenuation over the 3-meter length. The QSFP+ to quad SFP+ configuration allows single high-speed ports to fan out to four independent lower-speed connections, providing flexibility in network architecture design. Compliance & Certification: Fully qualified to IEEE 802.3ba standards, the cable meets SFF-8436 specifications for QSFP+ connectivity. RoHS and ELV compliance ensures environmental responsibility, while TUV and UL certifications validate electrical safety and reliability. The cable operates reliably across the full 0 to 70°C temperature range typical of data center environments. Compatibility & Installation: Direct replacement for Dell OEM part numbers 470-AAGE and 470-AAXG, this cable integrates seamlessly into existing Dell network infrastructure. The robust plastic jacketing protects the copper conductors from environmental stress and mechanical damage during installation and operation. Applications: Ideal for enterprise data centers, cloud computing facilities, high-performance computing clusters, and network switching environments where 40GB connectivity is required. Perfect for organizations seeking to reduce power consumption and heat generation compared to active transceiver solutions. Warranty & Support: Backed by a 90-day limited warranty with convenient shipping from Danville, CA and Beaufort, SC locations. Free standard shipping on qualifying orders ensures cost-effective procurement for enterprise deployments. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring OEM-specific configurations.
