Intel Ethernet QSFP+ Breakout cable offers IT professionals a cost-effective interconnect solution for merging 40GbE QSFP+ and 10GbE SFP+ adapters, switches, and servers. Each cable features a single QSFP+ connector rated for 40-Gbps on one and (4) SFP+ connectors, each rated for 10-Gbps, on the other. This cable type allows customers to bridge the gap between 10GbE and 40GbE cables, switches and adapters, and economically links a QSFP+ port with an upstream 10GbE SFP+ switch. Intel Ethernet QSFP+ Cables provide a high density, high bandwidth solution at low cost and reduced power budget.
