QSFP+ Passive DAC for 40 Gbps Links

This Intellinet QSFP+ passive Direct Attach Copper twinax cable connects two QSFP+ ports at up to 40 Gbps. It targets data-centre and enterprise racks where short-reach, low-latency links between switches, routers, servers or storage are required. The seven-foot length suits top-of-rack and adjacent-rack deployments.

Replaces Fibre or RJ45 for Short Runs

Choose this passive DAC when you need a simpler, lower-power alternative to optical transceivers with patch cords or to 40 Gbps RJ45 cabling. The jump is worth it for distances up to seven metres where you want near-zero heat, sub-0.15 W draw and fewer components to match. It is not for links that exceed the passive copper reach or that require optical isolation.

Seven-Foot Reach with 30 AWG Twinax

The 30 AWG twinax construction comfortably handles 40 Gbps across the full seven-foot span inside a rack or between neighbouring racks. Headroom runs out beyond the specified passive distance limit, so longer runs or inter-building connections need active or optical solutions. Operating temperature extends to 70 °C for dense cabinet environments.

Questions about this item

What rack spacing does the 7 ft passive DAC cable support for QSFP+ ports?

The cable reaches up to 7 m or 23 ft, so a 7 ft length fits within standard Top-of-Rack and adjacent-rack deployments for 40 Gbps QSFP+ links.

How do I seat the QSFP+ connectors correctly on a switch port?

Align the connector key with the port, push straight in until the latch clicks, then verify the link light; the common error is stopping before the latch engages.

When should I plan to replace this 30 AWG twinax assembly?

Replace if the cable is kinked, the latch tabs break, or link errors appear; passive copper has no active parts to wear out, so physical damage is the only trigger.
