Iuron IU-QSFP-4SFP+-AOC5M 40Gbps QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ AOC 5M

The Iuron IU-QSFP-4SFP+-AOC5M is a 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ breakout direct attach cable designed for high-density, cost-effective short-reach interconnections in data centers and telecom equipment rooms. Built on passive copper with no active components, the cable requires no additional power beyond the 0.5W maximum drawn through the host interfaces, making it an efficient choice for rack-to-rack and top-of-rack switching deployments. The cable is compliant with SFF-8436, SFF-8431, and SFP+/QSFP MSA standards, and is compatible with Cisco QSFP-4SFP10G-CU5M applications. Its 26 AWG PVC (OFNR) jacket and 26 mm minimum bend radius support flexible routing in congested cable environments, while hot-plug capability on both ends simplifies installation and maintenance without taking systems offline.

Key features & benefits

• Passive Copper Design — Operates without active components, consuming no more than 0.5W in total, reducing thermal load and simplifying power budgeting in high-density switching environments.
• 40G to 4 x 10G Breakout Architecture — A single QSFP+ port fans out to four independent 10G SFP+ connections, maximizing port utilization and enabling flexible bandwidth segmentation between spine and leaf layers.
• Broad Protocol Support — Supports 40G InfiniBand 8x DDR, 4x QDR, 10G/40 Gigabit Ethernet, and Fibre Channel, making the cable suitable for converged data center fabrics carrying multiple traffic types over common cabling infrastructure.
• MSA and SFF Standards Compliance — Conforms to SFF-8436, SFF-8431, SFP+, and QSFP MSA standards, ensuring interoperability across a wide range of standards-compliant switching and routing platforms.
• Hot-Pluggable Connectors — Both the QSFP+ and SFP+ ends support hot-plug insertion and removal, allowing patching changes without scheduled downtime or host reboots.
• Low Insertion Loss and Ultra-Low Crosstalk — 26 AWG passive copper construction is optimized to minimize signal degradation and inter-channel interference, preserving signal integrity at the full rated data rate.
• Flexible Routing with 26 mm Minimum Bend Radius — The 26 mm minimum bend radius accommodates tight routing paths inside densely populated equipment racks without risking cable damage or signal degradation.
• RoHS Compliant — Manufactured in accordance with RoHS directives, supporting environmental compliance requirements commonly mandated in enterprise and carrier-grade procurement programs.
