The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 2x 200G QSFP56 4x 50G PAM4 Active Breakout DAC Cable, 5m is a active direct attach copper cable with QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56, supporting 400Gbps links over a length of 5m (16ft). Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, and complies with QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679.

Applications
In 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 provides a factory terminated 400Gbps link between QSFP-DD to 2x QSFP56 ports. This unit is produced in 4 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). The breakout design lets one high speed port feed 2x QSFP56, which raises port utilization and simplifies cabling in dense rows. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
Ordering Information
The factory part number is QDD-400G-2QAC. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 28AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
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.
Shipping and Lead Time
Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight forwarder.
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.
