The Extreme Networks 40G-DACP-QSFPZ5M is a 5-meter passive direct attach copper (DAC) cable designed to provide high-speed 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity between QSFP+ ports. Engineered with premium copper conductors and shielding, this cable offers excellent signal integrity and low latency performance while effectively minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Fully compliant with QSFP+ Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) standards, the 40G-DACP-QSFPZ5M supports plug-and-play hot-swappable installation, enabling easy deployment and maintenance without network downtime.
Ideal for short-distance interconnects within data center racks or between adjacent racks, the cable simplifies network cabling and reduces power consumption compared to active optical alternatives. Its rugged construction ensures durability and reliability in high-density, demanding environments. The 5-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack connectivity, making it a cost-effective and energy-efficient choice for scalable, high-performance network infrastructures.
