Questions buyers ask about this part
Which length do I need?
This is the 5m variant with QSFP+ ends at 40Gb/s. Passive copper is limited to in-rack runs; past about 5m at high speeds you want active optical instead. Measure the routed path rather than the straight-line distance, because cable management arms and side channels add more than people expect. We stock the range and can supply a mixed set.
Is this Nexus Compute part genuine, and is the warranty intact?
Yes. We supply through authorized distribution only, so the part carries the full Nexus Compute manufacturer warranty and its firmware update path stays supported. No grey-market stock, no re-labelled drives, no voided warranties.
Do you offer volume pricing and accept purchase orders?
The listed price is per unit and indicative; tiered pricing applies at quantity. We accept purchase orders from qualified businesses, government and defence agencies, and educational institutions, with net terms and consolidated invoicing available. Email the quantity you need and we will come back within 48 business hours.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Optics and cabling are part of the fabric spec on a cluster build, since both ends and the switch have to agree.
