Ruckus 40G-QSFP-C-00501-A

Passive QSFP+ DAC Cable (0.5 m, TAA Compliant) – 40GbE Direct Attach Copper Interconnect

The Ruckus 40G-QSFP-C-00501-A is a 0.5m passive QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach copper (DAC) cable, engineered for low-power, low-latency 40GbE interconnections. It is ideal for short-range link scenarios like switch stacking, uplinks, or inter-switch connections, and being TAA compliant makes it suitable for enterprise, government, and regulated network environments.

Expanded Overview :

This hot-pluggable DAC cable provides a direct 40Gbps link between compatible QSFP+ ports without requiring optical transceivers or added power. Its passive twinax copper construction ensures both near-zero power consumption and very low latency, making it exceptionally efficient for short-range deployments within the same rack or across adjacent racks.

At just 0.5 meters in length, the 40G-QSFP-C-00501-A is compact and well-suited for high-density cabling environments, where maintaining clean, efficient layouts is critical. The rugged twinax design ensures signal integrity, long-term durability, and consistent performance with repeated hot-plugging.

The "-A" designation indicates TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance, ensuring alignment with trade and procurement requirements for use in government, defense, or regulated network deployments where compliance standards are mandatory.
