Convert one 40 GbE QSFP+ port into four 10 GbE SFP+ connections with a 5 m direct-attach copper breakout cable designed for Brocade environments. This cable is a practical fit for teams that need to fan out high-speed switch ports to multiple downstream devices without adding separate transceivers and fiber assemblies for each leg. The 5 m reach gives you more placement flexibility than shorter breakout cables while still keeping the connection within the direct-attach copper range. That makes it useful for rack-to-rack or row-adjacent deployments where clean cable routing and predictable short-distance performance matter. For infrastructure teams managing dense switching fabrics, a breakout DAC can reduce part count, simplify procurement, and keep the physical layer easier to maintain. Choose this cable when you want to preserve port efficiency on the upstream switch while delivering four discrete 10 GbE links to servers, storage, or access switches. It is a straightforward way to support high-density Brocade-based designs with fewer components and a cleaner installation profile.
