400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable
The 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable provides a 400Gb/s copper connection between QSFP-DD to 4xQSFP56 ports with a cable length of 3-7m. Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments.

Applications
Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable carries 400Gb/s between QSFP-DD to 4xQSFP56 interfaces. This unit is supplied at 3-7m. One port becomes 4xQSFP56, 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. The link runs PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP-DD MSA SFF-8679 SFF-8636. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP-DD to 4xQSFP56 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
This model is supplied at 3-7m under part number QDD-400G-4QACxxx. Other lengths of the same assembly can be produced on request. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Quality Assurance
Before any product leaves our factory it goes through optical performance testing, compatibility verification on real switch platforms and a final visual inspection. Our in-house test lab holds a wide range of current and legacy switches from major brands, so interoperability is proven on the actual equipment your network uses rather than assumed from paper specifications.
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.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
