Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AC7M 7-Meter QSFP to 4xsfp10g Active Copper Splitter Cable

Overview

The Cisco QSFP-4X10G-AC7M is a 7-meter active copper splitter cable that converts a single QSFP port into four independent SFP+ 10GBASE-T connections. Designed for high density data center and campus deployments, this cable delivers reliable, low-latency performance while simplifying cabling management. Its active electronics boost signal integrity over the full 7-meter length, ensuring consistent 10GbE connectivity for servers, switches, and storage arrays.

Key Features

• Converts one QSFP port to four SFP+ 10GBASE-T ports
• Active copper design provides enhanced signal quality over 7 meters
• Supports full duplex 10GbE operation with low latency
• Plug-and-play with standard QSFP and SFP+ connectors
• Robust metal housing for durability in high-traffic environments
• Backward compatible with Cisco and third-party equipment that follows QSFP and SFP+ standards

Technical Specifications

• Model/Part Number: QSFP-4X10G-AC7M
• Cable Length: 7 meters (approximately 23 feet)
• Connector Type: QSFP (male) to 4 x SFP+ (female)
• Data Rate: 10 Gbps per channel
• Transmission Medium: Copper, active electronics
• Operating Temperature: 0 to 70 degrees Celsius
