Mellanox’s 40GigE Passive copper cables provide robust connection to switches and network adapters
complying with 40GBase-CR4 specifications. The 40GigE passive copper cables are compliant with the
IEEE 802.3ba and, SFF-8436 specifications and provide connectivity between devices using QSFP ports. 40GigE passive copper cables fill the need for short, cost-effective connectivity in the data center. Mellanox’s 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 Mellanox’s 40GigE passive copper cables significantly reduces poer
consumption and EMI emission, eliminating the use of EDC hosts.
