About the Cisco 1PQSFP-H40G-CU2M Cisco 40G QSFP+ direct-attach cable

The Cisco QSFP+ 40 Gbps direct-attach copper cable (part number 1PQSFP-H40G-CU2M) delivers high-speed, cost-effective connectivity for enterprise data center and campus network deployments. This passive twinaxial DAC cable spans 2 meters and supports the full 40GBASE-CR4 standard, making it ideal for network engineers and infrastructure teams requiring reliable short-reach interconnection between switches, routers, and fabric interconnects without the expense of active transceivers.

Built by Cisco with native EEPROM coding, the 1PQSFP-H40G-CU2M integrates seamlessly into Cisco Nexus and Catalyst switching fabrics, as well as UCS Fabric Interconnects, delivering immediate platform recognition and zero compatibility friction. The cable's passive design eliminates power consumption and thermal overhead while maintaining hot-pluggable convenience for live network operations. With IEEE 802.3ba compliance, four-lane 10 Gbps architecture, and full RoHS certification, this solution meets both performance and environmental standards for modern data centers. IT procurement teams will appreciate its straightforward deployment and proven longevity across mission-critical environments.
