The 400G QSFP-DD to 2 x 200G QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable provides a 400Gbps copper connection between QSFP-DD to 2 QSFP56 ports with a cable length of 1m (3ft). 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
The 400G QSFP-DD to 2 x 200G QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable is a 400Gbps active copper cable for QSFP-DD to 2 QSFP56 connections in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is supplied at 1m (3ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. 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
Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD to 2 QSFP56 interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
Ordering Information
This model is supplied at 1m (3ft) under part number QDD-400G-2QACxxx. Other lengths of the same assembly can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
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.
How We Pack
Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
