Axiom 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ Passive DAC Cable 2 m

Keep short-range 40 GbE links simple, stable, and cost-efficient with this 2 m passive DAC cable from Axiom. Built for QSFP+ interconnects, it is designed for direct attachment between compatible network devices, reducing the need for separate transceivers and optical patching. That makes it a strong fit for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack deployments where cable management, latency, and budget all matter. Avaya compatibility helps streamline procurement for environments standardized on that platform, while the passive design supports short-distance connectivity with minimal overhead. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: fewer components, fewer points of failure, and a cleaner path to dense 40 GbE expansion. This cable is best used where the link distance is known and fixed. In those scenarios, passive DAC is often the right answer because it delivers the required throughput with less complexity than optical alternatives. For buyers comparing options, the advantage is not just price — it is operational simplicity in a form factor built for modern switch fabrics.
