Technical Overview

This direct attach cable operates on the 40GBASE-CR4 standard, utilizing twinaxial copper construction to deliver 40 Gbit/s throughput. The QSFP+ connectors on both ends support hot-pluggable installation, allowing for easy maintenance and upgrades without network downtime.

The active circuitry embedded within the cable compensates for signal attenuation, enabling reliable operation at the full 10-meter distance. This makes it an effective solution for short-reach connections within data centers, where fiber optic alternatives may be unnecessary or cost-prohibitive.

Key Product Advantages

This DAC cable simplifies network connectivity by providing a pre-terminated, tested solution that reduces installation time and potential points of failure. The active design ensures consistent performance across the entire cable length, which is particularly valuable in dense switch environments.

Juniper Switch Integration

Specifically coded for compatibility with Juniper QFX3500, QFX3600, and QFX5100 switches, ensuring plug-and-play operation without configuration overhead.

  • Direct hardware recognition
  • No firmware updates required
  • Supported in Juniper's ecosystem

Cost-Effective 40GbE Connectivity

Delivers 40 Gbit/s performance using copper twinaxial technology, offering a lower total cost of ownership compared to fiber optic transceivers and separate fiber cables for short-reach applications.

Deployment / Use Cases

This cable is ideal for interconnecting switches within a rack or between adjacent racks in data center environments. The 10-meter length provides sufficient reach for most top-of-rack and end-of-row switching scenarios, supporting spine-leaf architectures and high-performance computing clusters.

Common applications include linking Juniper QFX series switches in enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and financial trading environments where low latency and high reliability are paramount. It can also connect switches to network appliances, storage arrays, or servers equipped with QSFP+ ports.

Data Center Interconnects

Connect Juniper switches within the same rack or across adjacent racks to build high-bandwidth aggregation layers.

Network Upgrades

Upgrade existing 10GbE links to 40GbE without replacing entire switch chassis, using compatible QSFP+ ports.

FAQ

What Juniper switch models is this DAC cable compatible with?

This Axiom DAC cable is specifically compatible with Juniper QFX3500, QFX3600, and QFX5100 series switches. It is coded to work seamlessly with these models, providing plug-and-play connectivity without requiring additional configuration or firmware updates.

What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?

The cable supports data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s, adhering to the 40GBASE-CR4 standard. This makes it suitable for high-bandwidth applications such as data center interconnects, network aggregation, and performance-sensitive computing environments.

How does the active design benefit network performance?

The active circuitry embedded in the cable compensates for signal attenuation over the 10-meter length, ensuring consistent data integrity and reliable operation. This allows the cable to maintain full 40 Gbit/s performance across its entire distance, which passive cables might not achieve.

What is the difference between this DAC cable and fiber optic solutions?

This twinaxial DAC cable uses copper conductors with active electronics, providing a cost-effective solution for short-reach connections up to 10 meters. Fiber optic alternatives typically support longer distances but involve separate transceivers and fiber cables, which can increase complexity and cost for shorter links.
