Axiom QSFP+ Passive Twinax Cable 5m

This Axiom passive twinax cable provides a direct 40 Gbit/s link between network devices. It terminates with QSFP+ male connectors on both ends for switch-to-switch or router-to-switch runs. The 16.40 ft length suits rack and row connections. No external power is required for operation.

Suits installers needing a 40 Gbit/s passive link

Buyers who need an active or optical cable for longer reach should look elsewhere. Builders requiring a different connector type or a higher data rate cannot use this cable. It is limited to the specified transfer rate and passive design.

40 Gbit/s data transfer rate

The cable supports a 40 Gbit/s transfer rate across its 16.40 ft span. This single figure determines compatibility with the target switch or router ports. Verify that the connected equipment matches this rate before purchase.
