StarTech QSFPH40GAC10 10 m 40 Gbps Direct Attach Cable | QSFP, Enterprise

Keep 40 GbE links up across longer rack-to-rack runs with a 10 m direct attach cable designed for Cisco QSFP-H40G-ACU10M compatibility. This StarTech cable is built for environments where short-reach optics are unnecessary, but dependable throughput and simple deployment still matter. At 40 Gbps, it supports high-bandwidth interconnects between switches, servers, and storage platforms without adding the cost or complexity of transceivers and separate fiber assemblies. The direct attach design is well suited to dense infrastructure where every connection must be easy to route, identify, and service. For teams standardizing on Cisco-compatible QSFP ports, this cable provides a practical way to extend links while keeping signal paths straightforward. The 10 m length gives added reach for adjacent racks, top-of-rack to end-of-row connections, and other structured cabling layouts that need more than a short DAC. Choose this cable when you need a clean, cost-conscious 40 GbE interconnect that still fits enterprise deployment standards. It is a focused component for production networks, not a generic accessory.
