Build short-distance 40 GbE connections without the overhead of separate optics. This 2 m QSFP+ direct attach cable from AddOn Networks is designed for Brocade-compatible environments and TAA-compliant purchasing workflows, making it a practical choice for dense infrastructure where speed, simplicity, and procurement alignment all matter. Direct attach copper is ideal when the link stays close. In top-of-rack and adjacent-rack deployments, it delivers a clean, fixed-length connection that reduces component count and keeps installation straightforward. That means fewer parts to source, fewer failure points to manage, and a more predictable path for short-run 40GBASE-CU connectivity. The 2 m length gives teams enough reach for cabinet-to-cabinet or rack-adjacent routing while preserving the tidy cable discipline that high-density environments demand. For organizations standardizing on Brocade switching platforms, this compatible QSFP+ cable helps maintain platform consistency without paying for optical transceivers where copper is the better fit. When the requirement is short-reach 40 GbE transport with clear procurement value, this cable answers it directly.
