FORTINET FN-CABLE-QSFP+5 Transceiver Modules

FN-CABLE-QSFP+5 Exact Order Identity

FN-CABLE-QSFP+5 is a physical 5 m 40 GE passive QSFP+ direct-attach cable. It is not a FortiCare entitlement, subscription or software license.

Published link boundary

The exact order row identifies 40 GE, a published reach or assembly length of 5m, Integrated cable terminations connectivity and Passive twinax copper media. The stated operating range is -40°C to 85°C.

Model-specific deployment decision

Approve the full five-metre copper pathway, support points and bend radius before ordering. Compare the route with an optical alternative and retain loaded 40 GE counters after installation.

Five-metre copper design review

This is the longest straight QSFP+ DAC in this page group. Before purchase, compare the full pathway, copper bundle weight, bend points and maintenance access with a 40 GE optical design. Name the engineer who accepts the passive-copper choice and record why a shorter assembly cannot reach without tension.

Installed-path stability test

Test both directions after the five-metre cable is fully supported, adjacent bundles are in place and chassis doors are closed. Save interface temperature, negotiated mode and error counters at the start and end of a sustained traffic run. A clean test while the cable is loosely coiled does not close this order line.

Receiving and traceability

Match the packaging label, full SKU and quantity to the purchase line before breaking the seal. Record serial or lot identifiers where present, the installed endpoint models, port numbers and final acceptance date. Pack boundary: One orderable unit unless the exact SKU states a pack.

Compatibility control

Confirm this exact order code in Fortinet's current transceiver and cable compatibility table for both endpoint models and software releases. A matching connector or form factor alone does not establish support, reach or breakout behavior.

Included and excluded scope

The terminations are included in the cable assembly. Switches, interface licenses, breakout configuration and unrelated patching are not included.
