The Extreme Networks 40G-DACP-QSFP3M is a 3-meter passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed to provide reliable, low-latency 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between QSFP+ ports in data centers. Its premium copper conductors and shielding minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring stable and error-free data transmission. Fully compliant with QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, this cable supports hot-swappable installation for hassle-free deployment and maintenance without network interruptions.
The 3-meter length offers versatility for intra-rack or short inter-rack connections, enabling scalable and efficient data center layouts. By leveraging passive copper technology, it offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to active optical cables for short distances, reducing both power consumption and cooling requirements. This cable is ideal for enterprise, cloud, and service provider networks demanding high-bandwidth, scalable 40G connectivity with minimal latency.
