Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 8x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC connects QSFP-DD to 8x 50G SFP56 ports at 425Gbps (8x 53.125GGbps) in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is delivered in 12 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 70m (230ft). One port becomes 8x 50G SFP56, a common pattern for connecting newer aggregation ports to an installed base of lower speed equipment. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment. 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, SFP56 MSA, IEEE 802.3cd. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP-DD to 8x 50G SFP56 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-8SAO. We make this cable in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft), 50m (164ft) and 70m (230ft). Special lengths outside this range can be produced to order. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
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.
Custom-made Fiber Products
As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.
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.
