Our take on the Ruckus Networks E40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-0301 40GE QSFP+ to QSFP+ 1m Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable

This is a 1-meter passive direct attach copper cable from Ruckus Networks, terminated with QSFP+ connectors on both ends for 40 Gigabit Ethernet links. Passive DACs like this carry 40GbE over short runs inside a rack without the cost or power draw of optical transceivers. It suits data center and campus wiring between switches, servers and storage in the same cabinet or adjacent racks. Compared with active optical cables it is cheaper to run and draws no power, but it is limited to short distances and is thicker and less flexible than fiber.

  • Passive design draws no power and adds no heat
  • Lower cost than optical transceivers and AOC
  • QSFP+ on both ends for 40GbE ports
  • Fixed 1m length keeps rack cabling tidy
  • No optics to clean or fail
Cons
  • Limited to very short runs; not for long distances
  • Thicker and stiffer than fiber, harder to route
  • Only works with QSFP+ 40GbE ports, not 10/25G SFP+
  • No active signal conditioning for longer spans

Questions and answers

What is a passive DAC cable used for?
It connects two 40GbE QSFP+ ports over a short run, typically within or between adjacent racks. It replaces a pair of optical transceivers and a fiber patch cable.
How far can this 1m cable reach?
It is 1 meter long, so it only spans equipment in the same rack or directly adjacent racks. Passive DACs are not intended for longer cable runs.
Does it work with 10G or 25G SFP+ ports?
No. Both ends are QSFP+ connectors for 40 Gigabit Ethernet. SFP+ ports need SFP+ cables or optics.
Is it compatible with non-Ruckus switches?
QSFP+ is a standard interface, but some vendors lock ports to their own cables. Check that your switch accepts third-party passive DACs before relying on it.
Does it need power or configuration?
No. It is a passive copper cable with no electronics, so there is nothing to power or configure; the switch ports handle the link.
