AddOn Cisco Meraki MA-CBL-40G-50CM Compatible 40GBASE-CU

Maintain high-speed rack-to-rack connectivity without the cost and power overhead of optical transceivers. This AddOn Networks compatible 40GBASE-CU direct-attach copper cable is built for short-distance QSFP+ links where signal integrity, latency, and cable discipline matter. At 50 cm, it is well suited to adjacent switches, top-of-rack aggregation, and tightly packed network enclosures. For infrastructure teams standardizing on Meraki-compatible 40 GbE hardware, this cable provides a practical path to expand or replace interconnects while keeping the bill of materials controlled. The TAA-compliant designation supports government and regulated procurement workflows, and the direct-attach design reduces component count compared with separate optics and fiber assemblies. Use it where short, deterministic connections are preferred over longer optical runs. The compact length helps reduce slack in crowded cabinets, improving airflow and simplifying service access. For environments that value repeatable deployment, this cable delivers the right balance of speed, simplicity, and sourcing alignment for enterprise switching fabrics.
