The JBX05235 5-meter Cisco QSFP+ to SFP+ breakout cable is engineered for organizations requiring flexible, cost-effective network connectivity solutions. As an active direct attach copper (DAC) cable, it eliminates the need for separate transceivers and optical modules, reducing overall system expenses while maintaining high performance. This breakout configuration allows a single 40GB QSFP+ connection to distribute across four individual 10GB SFP+ ports, making it particularly valuable for disaggregated networking architectures and multi-path data distribution. Technical Excellence and Compliance Manufactured to exacting standards, the cable features 30AWG twinax copper conductors that ensure optimal signal integrity over its full 5-meter length. The protective plastic jacketing provides durability in demanding data center environments. The product qualifies under IEEE 802.3ba specifications, the industry standard for 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and maintains compliance with RoHS directive 2002/95/EC, ensuring environmental responsibility alongside performance. CiscoCompatibility and Integration Direct compatibility with Cisco's QSFP-4X10G-AC5M specification guarantees seamless integration into existing Cisco-based network infrastructures. Engineers and IT professionals can confidently deploy this cable knowing it meets Cisco's rigorous compatibility standards and will perform reliably alongside other Cisco networking components. Operational Specifications The cable operates reliably across temperatures from 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F), making it suitable for both climate-controlled data centers and environments with broader temperature fluctuations. The QSFP+ to SFP+ copper connector design provides robust mechanical durability while enabling straightforward installation without specialized tools. Value and Support With a 90-day limited warranty and free standard shipping on orders over $99, the JBX05235 delivers exceptional value for enterprise and mid-market organizations. The product's proven reliability in production environments makes it an ideal choice for network upgrades, redundancy implementations, and capacity expansion projects. Custom brand programming is available for organizations requiring OEM integration or private labeling solutions.
