Description

The FN-CABLE-QSFP+1-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Fortinet FN-CABLE-QSFP+1. It provides plug-and-play connectivity between Fortinet QSFP+ and QSFP28 ports. - 40GBASE-CR4 compliant passive direct attach copper cable for rack-to-rack and intra-rack connections - QSFP+ form factor, 40 Gbps data rate, twinax copper cable assembly with transceivers included - Operates over passive copper for short-reach connections with less than 0.1W power dissipation per end - Available in 1M, 3M, and 5M lengths to suit different rack configurations - Digital monitoring support and hot-plug capability for serviceability - Extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C for demanding environments

Features

• 40GBASE-CR4 standard compliance ensures interoperability with any Fortinet equipment that supports QSFP+ or QSFP28 ports operating at 40 Gbps
• Four-lane architecture with each lane operating at 10.3125 Gbps, aggregated to deliver full 40 Gbps throughput over twinax copper
• Passive copper design eliminates the need for active electronics, reducing power consumption to under 0.1W per connector end and minimizing heat generation in dense rack environments
• Extended commercial temperature range from -40°C to 85°C allows deployment in ruggedized and environmentally challenging network installations
• Digital monitoring interface provides real-time visibility into cable health and signal integrity parameters for proactive maintenance
• Hot-swappable connectors enable in-service cable replacement without shutting down adjacent ports or disrupting network uptime

FAQs

Q: Will this work in place of the FN-CABLE-QSFP+1?
A: Yes. This cable is a direct replacement based on the 40GBASE-CR4 standard with QSFP+ form factor and 40 Gbps data rate. It offers plug-and-play compatibility with Fortinet systems that list FN-CABLE-QSFP+1 as a supported cable.

Q: Which Fortinet platforms support this cable?
A: This cable is compatible with any Fortinet device that has QSFP+ or QSFP28 ports and supports 40G Ethernet connectivity. This includes FortiGate and FortiSwitch models with 40G QSFP+ slots. Verify your specific platform datasheet for QSFP+ DAC support.

Q: What is the maximum reach for passive copper at 40 Gbps?
A: Passive copper DAC cables at 40 Gbps are practical up to 5 meters due to signal attenuation and crosstalk in twinax copper. This cable family offers 1M, 3M, and 5M lengths. Beyond 5 meters, consider active copper or optical solutions to maintain signal integrity.

Q: Does this cable require external power or support breakout modes?
A: No external power is required. This is a passive twinax cable with power dissipation under 0.1W per end, drawn from the host port. It is a point-to-point QSFP+ to QSFP+ cable and does not support 4x10G breakout. For breakout applications, use a dedicated breakout cable.

Q: Can I mix cable lengths in the same switch or connect this to a non-Fortinet device?
A: Yes, you can use different cable lengths on the same switch without issue. Passive DAC cables are standards-compliant and will work with any vendor equipment that supports 40GBASE-CR4 and QSFP+ MSA, provided the remote device accepts Fortinet-coded EEPROM or is vendor-agnostic.
