PRODUCT PRESENTATION
The PHILISUN 40G QSFP+ to 4x10G SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Copper Cable (DAC) is a critical breakout cable, converting a single 40G QSFP+ port into four independent 10G SFP+ links. It complies with SFF-8436, SFF-8431, and the SFP+ and QSFP MSA standard. This copper twinax solution is ideal for high-density environments, supporting essential links from Switch to Switch and facilitating connections from Switch to GPU to multiple lower-speed devices.

| Notes: 1. GND is the symbol for signal and supply (power) common for the QSFP+ module. All are common within the QSFP+ module and all module voltages are referenced to this potential unless otherwise noted. Connect these directly to the host board signal-common ground plane. 2. Vcc Rx, Vcc1 and Vcc Tx are the receiver and transmitter power supplies and shall be applied concurrently. Recommended host board power supply filtering is shown below. Vcc Rx, Vcc1 and Vcc Tx may be internally connected within the QSFP+ Module module in any combination. The connector pins are each rated for a maximum current of 500 mA. |
