100GBASE QSFP to 4xSFP25G Passive Copper Splitter Cables (10 Meters)

[CSCO11740915]

Hi All

Currently have a racking scenario for a UCS Infratsrtructure where the 100GBASE QSFP to 4xSFP25G Passive Copper Splitter Cables at 5 Meters isn't quite long enough, yet there isn't a 7 or 10 Meter Cable available from CIsco.  Does anyone know of a work around https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/interfaces-modules/transceiver-modules/datasheet-c78-736282.htmlat all, and if so, does this in anyway effect the speed, throughputs and data transfer above that 5 Meter length?

QSFP-4SFP25G-CU (1M, 1.5M, 2M, 2.5M, 3M, 5M)

10 Meters?

Thanks

The 'passive' component is what is limiting you to the 5m, especially for the higher speeds (i.e. 100Gb)

Thanks, agreed, ultimately this passive cable type as a splitter is not available as Passive longer than 5 Meters and alternative solutions need to be reviewed such as AOC and/or 3rd party cables.
