NEW Arista CAB-Q-S-0.5M 0.5m 0.5m 40GB QSFP+ to 4x 10GB SFP+ Breakout Cable

The Arista CAB-Q-S-0.5M is a 0.5-meter 40 Gigabit QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ breakout cable. Arista's catalog describes it as a "4 x 10GbE QSFP+ to 4 x SFP+ Twinax Copper Cable". It is a passive twinax breakout cable that splits one 40G QSFP+ port into four 10G SFP+ connections. Arista notes that its 40G QSFP+ ports can run as four 10G ports or one 40G port on any port.

Use it to connect a 40G switch port to four 10G servers, storage arrays, or older switches. It is supported on all Arista EOS releases.

If you need a different length, the longer CAB-Q-S-1M 1m 40G QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ direct attach breakout cable is also available. For a straight 40G link between two switch ports, see the CAB-Q-Q-5M 5m 40G QSFP+ direct attach copper cable. A seller refurbished CAB-Q-S-0.5M 0.5m 40G QSFP+ to 4x SFP+ direct attach breakout cable is also available.

Label both ends when you install it so the run is easy to trace later, and keep the connectors capped until you are ready to plug them in.

This CAB-Q-S-0.5M cable is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
