High-Performance 40G Connectivity for Top-of-Rack and Rack-to-Rack Links

The Genuine Cisco QSFP-H40G-CU3M is a 3-meter 40GBASE-CR4 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable designed for short-distance, high-speed connections between Cisco QSFP+ ports. Ideal for rack-to-rack links, Top-of-Rack (ToR) to end-of-row switches, or connecting switches and routers in dense data center environments.

As a passive copper DAC, it delivers near-zero power consumption, ultra-low latency, and maximum signal integrity—making it the most cost-effective solution for 40G Ethernet in modern data centers.

Why Choose the QSFP-H40G-CU3M?

  • Rack-to-Rack Flexibility: 3-meter length is perfect for interconnecting switches across adjacent racks or long ToR runs.
  • Low Latency, Low Power: Passive copper means no transceivers, no optical conversions, and near-zero power draw.
  • Cost-Effective 40G: Eliminates the need for expensive optical transceivers and patch cables.
  • Factory-Sealed Cisco Quality: Guaranteed compatibility, hot-swappable, and built for mission-critical uptime.

Technical Features:

  • Data Rate: Up to 40 Gbps (40GBASE-CR4)
  • Cable Type: Passive Twinax Direct Attach Copper (DAC)
  • Length: 3 meters (9.8 feet)
  • Connectors: QSFP+ to QSFP+
  • Wire Gauge: 30 AWG
  • Power Consumption: Near-zero (Passive)
  • Hot Swappable: Yes
  • Operating Temp: 0°C to 70°C
  • Compliance: MSA Compliant, IEEE 802.3ba, RoHS
