Key Features
- Cable type: Copper breakout cable
- Connector (End 1): QSFP+
- Connector (End 2): 4 × SFP+
- Intended use: Short-reach QSFP+ port breakout
- Form factor: Fixed breakout twinax assembly
- Application: Uplink aggregation and port repurposing
- Break out one QSFP+ port into four SFP+ ports via QSFP+ to 4×SFP+ copper assembly
- Reduce transceiver count with a single-cable electrical breakout using QSFP+ and SFP+ connectors
Streamline uplink design and reclaim switch port flexibility with a QSFP+ to 4×SFP+ copper breakout assembly. This cable provides a direct electrical mapping from a single QSFP+ interface into four SFP+ endpoints, enabling flexible aggregation or distribution without deploying additional optics. It is intended for in-rack or adjacent-rack topologies where short-reach copper is acceptable and predictable performance is required. Network architects choose breakout cabling to simplify migrations, scale port counts, or repurpose QSFP+ uplinks as multiple SFP+ links for server connectivity. For operations teams, the fixed-assembly breakout reduces inventory complexity compared with separate transceivers and patching, and keeps cable routing compact. Confirm switch vendor support for QSFP+ port breakout or direct attach mapping before deployment to ensure link negotiation and mapping behave as expected.
Ideal For
- Convert a QSFP+ uplink into four SFP+ server-facing links in a top-of-rack switch
- Repurpose QSFP+ ports for incremental port scaling during migration
- Aggregate multiple SFP+ links into a spine using a single QSFP+ uplink
- Reduce optical transceiver spend for short in-rack connections
Why This Product
- 1Consolidates four SFP+ links onto one QSFP+ uplink versus separate transceivers
- 2Simplifies cable management compared with fiber patching for short reach
- 3Reduces per-link hardware spend compared with modular optics
- 4Direct electrical mapping avoids intermediate breakout modules
