CABLES DATASHEET 40GbE, 40Gb/s, Passive Copper Cables Mellanoxs 40GbE passive copper cables provide robust connections for leading edge 40Gb/s systems. Passive copper cables require no additional power to ensure quality connectivity. The 40Gb/s passive copper cables are compliant with SFF-8436, QSFP+, specifications and provide connectivity between devices using QSFP ports. 40Gb/s passive copper cables fill the need for short, cost-effective connectivity in the data center. Mellanoxs high-quality passive copper cable solutions provide a power-efficient replacement for active power connectivity such as fiber optic cables. Optimizing systems to operate with Mellanoxs 40Gb/s passive copper cables significantly reduces power consumption and EMI emission, eliminating the use of EDC hosts.
