Extralink QSFP+ DAC kabel 40Gbps 3m 30AWG samec/samec

The Extralink QSFP+ DAC Cable is a direct-attach copper solution for short-range, high-speed interconnects. With QSFP+ male connectors on both ends and a 3 m length, it supports 40Gbps data rates and is suitable for connecting switches, routers and servers in rack and data center environments where reliable, low-latency links are required.

Advantages

This QSFP+ cable delivers 40Gbps bandwidth over a 3-meter direct-attach copper assembly (30AWG) with plug-and-play QSFP+ male connectors. It reduces the need for optical transceivers and provides deterministic latency and power-efficient operation for short-distance connections inside racks or between adjacent racks.

Suitable for

• Server-to-switch connections in data centers
• Switch-to-switch links within the same rack or adjacent racks
• High-performance networking equipment requiring 40Gbps interconnects

Key specifications

• Standard: QSFP+
• Data rate: 40Gbps
• Length: 3 m
• Conductor: 30AWG
• Connector type: QSFP+ male to QSFP+ male
• Brand: Extralink
• MPN: EX.15807

How to use

Ensure compatible QSFP+ ports are available on both devices. Align the QSFP+ male connectors with the device ports and insert until the connector latches. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm 40Gbps operation via device diagnostics or management interface. To remove, release the connector latch and pull straight out, avoiding sideways stress on the cable.

Recommendations

Use this direct-attach copper cable for short-distance links within racks or between adjacent racks. Avoid routing across long cable trays or outdoor exposure; keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines and ensure proper airflow around equipment to maintain thermal performance.
