noteworthy but discrete benefit of using QSFP to SFP+

With four native QSFP to SFP+ connectors available on each splitter cable, 40 discrete Gigabit Ethernet connections can be eliminated from the mix. By electing to work with a splitter cable, the costs associated with potentially thousands of CAT6 patch cords and the power-hungry chipsets that drive them are alleviated entirely. High-density QSFP to SFP+ connections are far more efficient, offering an impressive 10-fold reduction in power consumption and heat dissipation by comparison.Genuine Amphenol Hybrid QSFP to SFP+ Passive Copper Splitter Cable Assemblies are available in a variety of popular lengths, including 1m, 3m, and 5m – perfect for short-run top-of-rack switching applications. Each QSFP to SFP+ Splitter Cable utilizes Amphenol’s latest generation of high-performance connectors with superb resistance to crosstalk. All of the connectors are fully enclosed within zinc die-cast backshells for superior EMI performance and minimal insertion loss.
