Aruba 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ DAC Cable 3m

The Aruba 40G QSFP+ to QSFP+ Direct-Attach Copper (DAC) Cable is a passive, low-latency interconnect solution engineered for high-speed data center and enterprise campus switch-to-switch connectivity. This 3-meter cable delivers native 40 Gigabit Ethernet performance without active signal conditioning, making it suitable for short-reach, high-density deployments where power consumption and operational simplicity are priorities.

Designed for use with Aruba modular and fixed-configuration switches featuring QSFP+ ports, the cable enables cost-effective fabric expansion and top-of-rack aggregation. The passive architecture eliminates the need for external power supplies or active components, reducing points of failure and operational overhead in mission-critical network environments.

Ideal for

• Switch-to-switch fabric interconnects within data center pods
• Top-of-rack (ToR) aggregation for high-density compute clusters
• Campus core switch uplinks and redundant link deployment
• Storage area network (SAN) interconnects for NVMe and SSD arrays
• Direct server-to-switch connections in high-performance computing (HPC) environments
• Multi-switch spanning tree and LACP trunk formation
