A High-Performance Networking Solution
The Cisco QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= is a high-performance networking solution designed to provide fast and reliable connectivity between QSFP ports and SFP ports. This particular cable is a 3-meter QSFP to 4xSFP25G passive copper splitter cable, which means that it is a copper cable that can be used to split a single 100Gbps QSFP port into four separate 25Gbps SFP ports.
This cable is designed to be used with a variety of Cisco networking devices, including switches, routers, and other networking equipment. It is designed to be easy to install and use, and it provides a high level of performance and reliability.
The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= cable is a passive copper cable, which means that it does not require any additional power or active components to function. It is designed to be a cost-effective solution for high-speed networking, providing a reliable connection with minimal latency and loss.
One of the main benefits of the QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= cable is its ability to provide high-speed connectivity over longer distances than traditional copper cables. With a length of 3 meters, this cable can be used to connect devices that are located further apart, providing greater flexibility in network design and deployment.
Key Features of Copper Splitter Cable
The Cisco QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= is a high-performance 100GB base splitter cable that connects a QSFP port to four SFP25G ports, allowing for high-speed data transmission over short distances. Here are some key features of this cable:
- Passive Copper Cable: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= uses passive copper technology to transmit data, which means that it does not require any power source or active components. This makes it a cost-effective solution for short-range interconnects in data centers and other high-performance computing environments.
- High-Speed Data Transfer: This cable supports data transfer rates of up to 100 Gbps, making it an ideal choice for high-bandwidth applications such as data center interconnects, storage networks, and high-speed computing clusters.
- QSFP to SFP25G Connectivity: The cable has a QSFP connector on one end and four SFP25G connectors on the other end, allowing for easy connectivity between devices with different port types.
- 3-Meter Length: The cable is 3 meters long, providing enough length to connect devices within a rack or a short distance apart. The cable length can also be customized to meet specific requirements.
- High-Quality Construction: The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= cable is built with high-quality materials and features a rugged design, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh operating conditions.
- Compatible with Cisco Devices: This cable is specifically designed for use with Cisco networking equipment, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance when used with Cisco switches, routers, and other devices.
Impacting Data Centers of 100GB QSFP Cable
The Cisco QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= is a 100GB Base QSFP to 4xSFP25G passive copper splitter cable designed for use in data center environments. This cable provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for connecting QSFP switches and servers to SFP25G switches and servers over a short distance.
The cable is three meters long and uses copper conductors to provide high-speed data transfer between devices. It supports a maximum data rate of 100 Gbps, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as data storage, virtualization, and cloud computing.
The QSFP-4SFP25G-CU3M= cable is easy to install and does not require any additional power supply or software configuration. It uses a passive splitter design, which means that it does not require any active components to operate. This design helps to reduce power consumption and improve reliability.
The cable is compatible with a wide range of Cisco networking equipment, including the Cisco Nexus and Cisco Catalyst switches, as well as the Cisco UCS servers. It meets the QSFP and SFP25G standards and supports hot-pluggable capability, which means that it can be plugged and unplugged from a device without causing any damage.

About Refurbished Products
Cables - Direct Attach Cable
Direct Attach Cable, also known as the DAC cable, connects the equipment and peripherals in a data network. All the active networking equipment, including the data storage devices, switches, routers, servers, and more, will be connected and synched using the DAC cables. As far as the usage is concerned, these direct attached copper cables are getting fame in the data storage centers and the industry sector and server rooms: the reason being the cost-effective, efficient, and easier way to form the connection.
Direct Attach Copper Cables Are Terminated with Modules:
DAC cables are terminated from the manufacturer with the modules, which can easily connect the active peripheral equipment and secure an electrical connection. These modules are factory terminated and cannot be removed from the DAC cables afterward. Hence these wires possess a fixed length.
There are plenty of types and models available for the direct attach cables, including the direct, breakout, active and passive. As mentioned in the name, the direct cable can form a direct stable connection among the two peripherals, while breakout can connect one port with the four others. On the other hand, an active DAC cable will transmit signals to a little longer distance than the passive ones.
We, at ALLHDD, have got you all the range DAC cables for you to shop from! Choose from the following sub-categories: 0.5 Meter, 1 Meter, 16.4 Feet, 2 Meter, 4xC-13 Attached, 5 Meters, SFP+, 0.65 Meter, 10 Feet, 10 Meters, and 3 Meter.
DAC cables can follow longer paths:
Many of you might be wondering if the direct attach cable can transmit the data up to 10 meters or more! Yes, these cables can transfer the data to a more extended range depending on the data rate. The data rate is inversely proportional to the transmit range- the more the data rate, the less will be the range!
Direct Attach Data Cables are cost-effective!
DAC cables are more cost-effective as compared to the other ones. Using the two optical transceivers and fiber cable will not generate similar results as these DAC cables would!
Immense Reliability:
Not only are these cost-effective and can cover long range but are reliable as well! As already mentioned, the DAC cables are factory terminated with a module that plugs into the networking equipment and generates a physical connection. Apart from the secure connection, the 26 to 28 AWG Copper material makes them rugged. Therefore, surviving through the damage and cracks, DAC cables are a way to connect peripherals swiftly. You can choose from the following options 7 Meter, ProCurve, 0.65M, 1.2 Meter, 20 Meter and 30 Meter and also claim a 2.5% discount!
