MA-CBL-40G-xM-BCC | Meraki Compatible QSFP to QSFP Copper DAC Cable, 40GB, 40GBASE-CR4 | 0.5 to 3M

The MA-CBL-40G-xM-BCC is a drop-in compatible replacement for the Meraki MA-CBL-40G-50CM. This passive copper direct attach cable provides plug-and-play connectivity for Meraki MS-series switches requiring 40G stacking or interconnect. - 40GBASE-CR4 and SFF-8436 compliance guarantees interoperability with standards-compliant 40G QSFP+ ports - QSFP+ to QSFP+ passive twinax copper cable assembly delivering 40Gbps data rate over copper - Suitable for short-range interconnects within and across adjacent equipment racks - Available in three lengths: 0.5M, 1M, and 3M to accommodate varied rack configurations - Hot-pluggable design with low power consumption compared to optical alternatives - Compatible with Meraki MS210, MS225, MS250, MS350, MS410, and MS425 switch families for stacking applications

• 40GBASE-CR4 signaling over four independent copper lanes delivers full 40Gbps throughput with proven passive twinax technology requiring no external power beyond port supply
• SFF-8436 QSFP+ MSA form factor ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility across multi-vendor environments, simplifying deployment in mixed infrastructure
• Passive copper architecture eliminates active components, reducing per-port power draw and heat generation compared to optical transceivers while maintaining signal integrity for short reaches
• Hot-swap capability allows insertion and removal without powering down host devices, supporting maintenance windows and dynamic topology changes without service interruption
• Three-length family (0.5M, 1M, 3M) provides deployment flexibility for top-of-rack, middle-of-row, and cross-rack connections without excess cable management burden
• Twinax copper construction delivers low latency and immunity to electromagnetic interference within rated distance, ideal for deterministic stacking and aggregation links
• Direct attach assembly integrates connectors permanently to cable, eliminating transceiver inventory complexity and reducing failure points in high-density switch stacks
