AXIOM X66120-5-AX 40GBASE-CR4 QSFP+ to 4x10G DAC 5 m

Simplify short-reach 40 GbE breakout with a passive DAC designed for dense storage and switching environments. This AXIOM cable converts one QSFP+ port into four 10GBASE-CU SFP+ connections, making it a practical fit for top-of-rack aggregation, storage uplinks, and server fan-out where optical transceivers would add cost and complexity. At 5 m, it gives you enough reach for adjacent rack and cabinet connections while keeping signal paths direct and latency low. Passive copper also reduces power draw and removes the need for separate optics on both ends, which helps control spend in high-port-count deployments. The NetApp-compatible design is aimed at infrastructure teams that need predictable interoperability in established environments. For procurement teams, this cable fills a specific role: high-density breakout without overbuying on optics or overcomplicating the bill of materials. For architects, it is a clean way to preserve port density while matching the physical layout of the rack.
