How to use
Before installation, verify that both connected devices officially support passive QSFP 40GBase-CR4 DACs. Insert each QSFP connector into the corresponding QSFP port on your switch, router or storage device until it latches. Use the cable for short-distance electrical connections (up to 3 m) and select the appropriate transmission settings on your equipment per vendor documentation. No external power or transceivers are required when using passive DACs; the link negotiation and signalling are handled by the host devices.
Usage recommendations
Handle the cable by the connector housings and avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the hardware vendor. Confirm firmware and software compatibility on your devices and request a test sample when integrating into critical systems.
