Applications
Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Active Breakout DAC Cable carries 400Gb/s between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 interfaces. This unit is produced in 3 standard lengths from 3m (10ft) to 5m (16ft). One port becomes 4x QSFP56, 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.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: QSFP-DD MSA SFF-8679 SFF-8636. 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-4QAC. This cable is available in 3m (10ft), 4m (13ft) and 5m (16ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 28 AWG.
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.
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.
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.
