Juniper QSFP+ to SFP+ 40GE Active DACBO 5 m | Direct Attach Cable

Build short-reach 40 GbE links with fewer parts and less complexity using the Juniper QSFP+ to SFP+ 40GE Active DACBO 5 m. This active direct attach copper cable is suited to environments where you need reliable connectivity between QSFP+ and SFP+ ports without moving to fiber. The 5 m length is ideal for adjacent rack connections, top-of-rack to nearby aggregation paths, and tightly managed cable runs. Active DAC cabling is a strong fit for teams that want predictable deployment and efficient cable management. Compared with separate transceivers and fiber patching, this integrated assembly reduces the number of components in the link and keeps installation straightforward. The active design helps maintain signal quality across the copper run, supporting stable 40 GbE transport in dense switching environments. For Juniper-based data centers, this cable is a practical choice when you want to preserve port compatibility, keep latency low, and avoid overbuilding the interconnect layer. It is a focused solution for short-distance, high-speed connectivity where simplicity and consistency matter.
