BlueLAN 40G QSFP+ Direct Attach -kuparikaapeli, 1 m, Lenovo/Mellanox yhteensopiva (ARZF-BL)

High-density 40 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand links often fail because of expensive optics and fragile fiber. This BlueLAN direct attach copper cable solves that by delivering a reliable 40GBASE-CR4 connection in a single, low-cost assembly. It plugs directly into QSFP+ ports on Lenovo and Mellanox switches, NICs, and servers, eliminating separate transceivers and reducing both latency and power draw.

Who is it for

Data center operators, HPC cluster builders, and network engineers who need short-reach 40G interconnects between racks or adjacent equipment. It suits anyone replacing vendor-branded DACs or building cost-effective leaf-spine fabrics.
