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
