Applications
Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 2x 200G QSFP56 4x 50G PAM4 Active Breakout DAC Cable, 5m carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56 interfaces. This unit is delivered in 4 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). One port becomes 2x QSFP56, a common pattern for connecting newer aggregation ports to an installed base of lower speed equipment. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
The ordering part number is QDD-400G-2QAC. We make this cable in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Special lengths outside this range can be produced to order. Wire gauge: 28AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
OEM and Custom Orders
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
Delivery
Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.
Reliability Control
From incoming component inspection to final burn-in, quality is controlled at each step of production. Finished units are verified on real networking equipment in our compatibility lab, and test records are kept per batch so that any field question can be traced back quickly.
Packing Details
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
