AddOn Networks ADD-QEXSFT-PDAC50CM 40G QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ DAC

Reduce rack clutter and keep high-speed links close to the chassis with this 40GBASE-CU direct attach cable. The QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout design is built for short-reach aggregation between compatible Extreme Networks and Fortinet environments, making it a practical fit for top-of-rack switching, lab staging, and adjacent equipment connections. At 0.5 m, this cable is made for tightly packed enclosures where longer assemblies add unnecessary slack and airflow obstruction. Passive copper construction avoids the power draw and heat associated with active optics, while the TAA-compliant design supports procurement requirements in regulated environments. For teams standardizing on 40 GbE while preserving existing SFP+ infrastructure, this cable provides a direct path to higher-density connectivity without introducing transceiver complexity. It is a straightforward choice when you need dependable short-run interconnects, predictable signal paths, and a cleaner bill of materials than mixed-media alternatives.
