Cavo InfiniBand/fibra ottica QSFP+ PLANET CB-DAQSFP-2M 2m connettore maschio/connettore maschio

PLANET CB-DAQSFP-0.5/2M is a 40G QSFP+ direct-attached copper cable available in 0.5 m and 2 m lengths. It features QSFP+ male connectors on both ends and is intended for short-distance, high-performance 40G Ethernet links within and between adjacent racks. The cable is compatible with PLANET 40G QSFP+ interfaces and can be used with devices such as the XGS3-24242 and XGS3-S20X2Q module cards for the XGS3-42000R chassis.

Advantages

The cable provides a cost-effective, low-latency 40G connection suitable for top-of-rack and adjacent-rack interconnects. With QSFP+ male-to-male connectors and proven compatibility with PLANET 40G modules, it simplifies short-reach installations without requiring optical transceivers. Available in two lengths (0.5 m and 2 m) to match different rack layouts and cabling requirements.

Suitable for

• Short-range 40G Ethernet links within a rack
• Connections between adjacent racks in data centers
• Interfacing with PLANET XGS3-24242 and XGS3-S20X2Q modules
• High-bandwidth server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links

How to use

Insert each QSFP+ connector into the corresponding QSFP+ port on the devices to be linked, ensuring correct orientation and a secure seat. Use the 0.5 m variant for connections within the same rack or the 2 m variant for adjacent-rack links. Verify link status on connected devices and confirm 40G operation through device management interfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable. Choose the cable length that minimizes slack while allowing safe routing; for longer distances beyond 2 m use optical transceivers and fiber cabling. Ensure connected PLANET devices support QSFP+ 40G interfaces and the specific module compatibility listed in device documentation.
