Consolidate high-speed uplinks and fan out four 10 GbE connections from a single 40 GbE QSFP+ port with this 2 m direct attach copper cable. Designed for Brocade environments, it supports short-reach interconnects where optical transceivers would add cost and complexity without improving the link. The direct attach design helps keep latency low and removes the need for separate optics on both ends. This cable is a practical fit for dense rack deployments, aggregation layers, and staged migration paths where 40 GbE infrastructure must connect to 10 GbE access devices. The 2 m length is well suited to adjacent rack or same-rack runs, helping maintain tidy routing and reduce excess slack. For teams standardizing on direct attach cabling, it offers a straightforward way to preserve port density while controlling spend. Choose this breakout DAC when you need a purpose-built interconnect for short distances, stable signaling, and simpler deployment planning. It is a focused component for infrastructure teams that value predictable fit, fewer parts, and a cleaner bill of materials.
