Axiom X6590-R6-AX 40G QSFP+ Passive DAC Cable 10 m

Keep 40 GbE links simple, predictable, and cost-controlled with this Axiom 10 m passive DAC cable. Built as a twinax direct-attach assembly with QSFP+ connectors on both ends, it supports short-reach interconnects without the overhead of optical transceivers and separate fiber runs. That makes it a practical choice for switch-to-switch, switch-to-server, and top-of-rack deployments where signal integrity and compatibility matter more than marketing claims. Axiom positions this cable for OEM-aligned environments, with application-specific coding designed to meet vendor requirements and preserve interoperability in supported NetApp deployments. The result is a cable that installs like the original part, while giving procurement teams a more efficient path to standardize spares and reduce per-link cost. At 32.81 ft, it reaches farther than typical rack DACs, which helps when equipment placement is fixed or when cable routing must stay clean across adjacent rows. For teams that value verified compatibility over guesswork, this cable offers a straightforward way to extend 40 Gbit/s connectivity with the right connector type, the right length, and a lifetime warranty backing the purchase.
