Ruckus Networks 40 GbE QSFP+ Active Copper Cable | DAC, 5 m

Maintain high-speed connectivity across extended rack distances with the Ruckus Networks E40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-0501 active copper cable. Built for QSFP+ to QSFP+ interconnects, this 5 m cable is suited to 40 GbE environments where direct attach copper is preferred over optics for cost control and straightforward deployment. Active copper cabling is a strong fit for short- to mid-range links inside the data center, especially when you want to reduce transceiver count and keep cable management clean. The 5 m length gives you more placement flexibility between adjacent racks, top-of-rack switches, and nearby servers or storage nodes without moving to fiber for every connection. For teams standardizing on QSFP+ infrastructure, this cable supports a consistent physical layer across high-density environments. It is a practical option when the goal is to preserve port speed, simplify procurement, and avoid unnecessary optical components in links that do not require them. In enterprise racks, that balance of reach, simplicity, and predictable 40 GbE connectivity is often what makes the difference.
