Description

Juniper Networks JNP-QSFP-DAC-5MA to Brocade (Formerly) 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-0501 Active Twinax DAC 5m

Unlock high-performance, low-latency connectivity in your data center with the Juniper Networks JNP-QSFP-DAC-5MA to Brocade (Formerly) 40G-QSFP-QSFP-C-0501 active twinax direct attach cable. Designed for short-range interconnects within racks and across adjacent switches, this 40G QSFP+ DAC delivers reliable, enterprise-grade throughput while simplifying deployment. Built for demanding environments, it combines robust copper copper-fiber hybrid signaling with active electronics to preserve signal integrity across a full 5-meter reach. The cable is fully compatible with Juniper and Brocade OEM ecosystems, ensuring seamless interoperability in mixed-vendor environments while meeting Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance. Whether you’re refreshing a 40G spine-leaf fabric or expanding a data-center fabric, this cable provides an efficient, plug-and-play solution that minimizes latency and maximizes bandwidth.

  • 40 Gbps performance with a 5-meter reach: Optimized for short-range data-center interconnects, the DAC supports full 40GBase-CU speeds between QSFP+ ports, enabling rapid server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections without intermediary transceivers.
  • Active Twinax copper design for signal integrity: The active circuitry within the twinax copper cable preserves signal quality over the full 5 m length, reducing skew and maintaining reliable link integrity in dense cabling environments.
  • Easy, plug-and-play installation: A direct-attached cable with QSFP+ connectors on both ends, designed for quick, tool-free installation. Hot-swapping is supported on compatible devices, making upgrades and expansions fast and disruption-free.
  • 100% OEM-compatible and TAA-compliant: Engineered to be fully compatible with Juniper and Brocade OEM hardware, the cable is listed as Comp TAA compliant, simplifying procurement and compliance for government and enterprise deployments.
  • Compact, durable construction for data centers: The 5-meter length is ideal for connecting devices within a rack or across adjacent racks, while rugged connectors and a proven twinax design withstand frequent insertions and cable management in busy data-center environments.

How to Install Juniper JNP-QSFP-DAC-5MA

  • Power down devices before installation and ensure both connected ports support 40G QSFP+ DAC cables.
  • Identify the QSFP+ ports on each device and verify that the ports are compatible with direct attach copper cables.
  • Gently align and insert the QSFP+ ends into the ports until they click into place. Do not force the connector; if it doesn’t seat with a confident click, remove and re-seat to ensure a proper connection.
  • Secure the cable routing to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for the 5 m DAC length. Use cable ties and organizers to minimize stress on the connectors.
  • Power on the equipment and verify link status in the management interface. Check for stable 40G links and normal traffic throughput. If any link issues arise, reseat the cable and confirm port configurations match the intended 40G operation.
  • Document the installation as part of your change management process and label cables for easy future maintenance and quick identification in dense rack deployments.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the maximum reach of this DAC? A: Up to 5.0 meters (16.4 feet) between QSFP+ ports, making it ideal for short-range intra-rack and inter-rack connections within data centers.
  • Q: Is this cable compatible with both Juniper and Brocade devices? A: Yes. It is designed as a 100% OEM-compatible solution between Juniper Networks and Brocade (Formerly) equipment, supporting mixed-vendor deployments without requiring adapters.
  • Q: What speed does the cable support? A: It supports 40 Gbps (40GBase-CU) QSFP+ to QSFP+ connections, suitable for high-bandwidth workloads and spine-leaf fabrics.
  • Q: Is the cable compliant with trade and procurement standards? A: Yes. The cable is TAA-compliant (Trade Agreements Act), simplifying procurement for government, enterprise, and educational customers.
  • Q: How should I install and maintain this DAC? A: Install with the device powered down, seat connectors firmly, route with care to avoid stress, verify link status post-install, and follow standard data-center best practices for cable management and fault isolation.
