The Cisco QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M 100G QSFP to 4x SFP 25G Passive Copper Splitter Cable is a high-speed, low-cost, and energy-efficient solution for connecting 100G switches and servers to 25G switches and servers. It is designed and constructed with the following key elements:
- Cable Jacket: The outer layer of the cable is the cable jacket, which is made of a flame-retardant PVC material that meets industry safety standards. The cable jacket protects the internal wires and helps prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
- Copper Conductors: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M cable is a passive copper cable, meaning that it uses copper conductors to transmit electrical signals over the cable. Copper conductors are widely used in data center cabling because they are cost-effective and offer high-speed data transfer rates.
- QSFP to 4x SFP Splitter: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M cable features a QSFP connector at one end and four SFP connectors at the other end. The splitter is a passive device that splits the 100G signal from the QSFP connector into four 25G signals that are transmitted over the SFP connectors.
- EMI Shielding: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M cable is shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from affecting the signal transmission. The shielding is achieved through the use of a conductive adhesive that covers the cable's outer surface.
- Cable Length: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M cable is designed to be 1 meter in length, making it suitable for short-reach applications in data centers.
The Cisco QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M 100G QSFP to 4x SFP 25G Passive Copper Splitter Cable is designed to meet various environmental considerations and certifications. Here are some of them:
- RoHS Compliance: The cable is RoHS compliant, which means it does not contain any hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. This compliance ensures the cable is safe for the environment and human health.
- REACH Compliance: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M cable is also REACH compliant, which means it meets the European Union's Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation. This compliance ensures that the cable does not contain any substances that are harmful to the environment or human health.
- Operating Temperature: The cable is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 70 degrees Celsius. This operating temperature range is suitable for most data center environments.
- Operating Humidity: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M cable is designed to operate within a relative humidity range of 10% to 85%, non-condensing. This humidity range is suitable for most data center environments.
- Safety Certifications: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M cable is certified by various safety organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and Conformité Européenne (CE). These certifications ensure that the cable meets safety standards and is safe for use in data center environments.
- Environmental Certifications: The cable is also certified by various environmental organizations such as ENERGY STAR and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These certifications ensure that the cable meets energy efficiency standards and does not harm the environment.
Active Optical Cables (AOCs) offer several advantages over passive copper cables, such as the Cisco QSFP-4SFP25G-CU1M 100G QSFP to 4x SFP 25G Passive Copper Splitter Cable:
- Longer Distance: AOCs can transmit signals over longer distances than passive copper cables, typically up to 100 meters, making them ideal for use in data center environments.
- Higher Bandwidth: AOCs have higher bandwidth capabilities than passive copper cables, making them more suitable for high-performance computing applications and data center networks.
- Lightweight and Flexible: AOCs are much lighter and more flexible than copper cables, making them easier to install and manage. They also have a smaller bend radius, which allows for more efficient cable routing and minimizes the risk of cable damage.
- Better EMI/EMC Performance: AOCs have better electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance than copper cables, which can help to reduce signal interference and improve overall network performance.
- More Secure: AOCs use light to transmit signals, which means they are more secure than copper cables, as they are not vulnerable to wiretapping or interference.
- Future-Proof: AOCs support higher data rates and are compatible with newer technologies, making them more future-proof than copper cables. This can help to ensure that your network infrastructure is capable of handling future data demands.

What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
