Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 40GBase direct attach cable used for?
A 40GBase direct attach cable connects high-speed network equipment in data centers and enterprise environments. It provides direct, passive connectivity between switches, servers, and storage systems without requiring separate transceivers, reducing latency and cost while maintaining reliable performance.
Why choose a passive QSFP+ cable over active alternatives?
Passive cables offer lower cost, reduced power consumption, and simpler deployment compared to active cables. The Ruckus 40GBase passive cable is ideal for shorter distances (up to 10 feet) where signal integrity remains excellent without active amplification.
Is this cable compatible with my existing network infrastructure?
Yes, the QSFP+ connectors on this direct attach cable are industry-standard, making it compatible with most modern switches, routers, and network interface cards supporting 40GBase connectivity. Verify your equipment specifications for QSFP+ port support.
How does cable length affect 40GBase performance?
The 10-foot length of this direct attach cable is optimized for typical data center rack distances, ensuring minimal signal loss and maintaining full 40GBase performance. Longer passive cables may experience signal degradation; consult specifications for your specific distance requirements.
