Axiom 40G QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ DAC 3 m X-QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M

Move 40 GbE traffic into four 10 GbE links without adding transceiver complexity. The Axiom X-QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M passive DAC cable is designed for short-reach, high-density switching environments where predictable latency, low power draw, and straightforward deployment matter. With a QSFP+ host end and four SFP+ breakout ends, it supports clean fan-out from a single 40GBASE-CR4 port to multiple 10GBASE-CU connections. At 3 m, this cable is well suited for adjacent rack and top-of-rack designs where optical modules would add unnecessary cost and management overhead. Passive copper keeps the link simple: no external power, no transceiver pairing, and no extra heat at the port. For infrastructure teams standardizing on NetApp-compatible connectivity, it offers a practical way to extend dense 10 GbE access from a 40 GbE aggregation point. Choose this cable when you need a direct, economical breakout path for short distances and want to preserve switch ports for the workloads that need them most.
