Description
The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AC10M is a 10-meter active copper breakout cable designed to connect one 40GbE QSFP+ port to four 10GbE SFP+ ports. Engineered for short-range, high-density data center and enterprise network environments, this cable enables efficient port breakout without the need for separate transceivers.
Featuring active copper technology, the QSFP-4X10G-AC10M supports reliable signal integrity over extended copper distances compared to passive cables, making it ideal for rack-to-rack and top-of-rack switching scenarios. It is fully hot-swappable and optimized for seamless interoperability with compatible Cisco switches and routers.
This cable is a cost-effective solution for maximizing port utilization while simplifying cabling and reducing power consumption in high-performance networking deployments.
