Axiom 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Passive DAC 5 m

Split one 40 GbE QSFP+ port into four 10 GbE SFP+ connections with a passive direct attach cable designed for short-reach data center links. This 5 m breakout assembly is a practical fit for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack connectivity where low latency, simple cable management, and predictable performance matter more than optical transceivers and patch panels. The passive design keeps the link straightforward: no active electronics, no added power draw, and no extra conversion layer between switch ports. That makes it well suited for dense environments that need to extend 40G infrastructure into existing 10G access or aggregation layers without overbuilding the network. For teams standardizing on Avaya-compatible hardware, it offers a direct path to cleaner deployments and fewer moving parts. Use it when you need to preserve switch budget, reduce complexity, and keep high-speed links physically close. The 5 m length gives enough reach for rack-to-rack runs while staying within the intended envelope for passive DAC cabling. For infrastructure teams balancing cost, density, and operational simplicity, this cable delivers the right kind of precision.
