HPE 721070-B21 is a 7-meter active optical breakout cable designed for BladeSystem c-Class enclosures, converting one QSFP+ port into four separate SFP+ connections. This cable supports 40 Gbps aggregate throughput over the QSFP+ side and distributes traffic across four 10 Gbps SFP+ channels, making it ideal for uplink aggregation and blade-to-switch connectivity within HPE blade environments. The active optical construction enables longer distances than passive copper alternatives while maintaining signal integrity in high-density enclosure deployments.
Compatible with HPE BladeSystem c7000 and c3000 enclosures equipped with QSFP+ interfaces, this cable supports standard 10GbE and 40GbE Ethernet protocols. Typical applications include inter-blade communications, SAN fabric expansion, and north-south traffic distribution in virtualized infrastructure. Each unit is tested and guaranteed, available via quote.
