The cables are hot-removable and hot-insertable. A breakout cable consists of a QSFP+ transceiver on one end and four SFP+ transceivers on the other end. The QSFP+ transceiver connects directly into the QSFP+ access port on the QFX Series device. The cables use high-performance integrated duplex serial data links for bidirectional communication on four links simultaneously. The SFP+ links are designed for data rates up to 10 Gbps each. Passive breakout cables have no signal amplification built into the cable assembly. There are two types of DAC cables:

• Passive DAC cables have no signal amplification built into the cable assembly. 
• Active DAC cables have signal amplification and equalization built into the cable assembly. 

Platform Support

Cisco QSFP+ to 4SFP+ DAC Breakout Cables are supported on a wide range of Cisco equipment.
