The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC, 30m connects QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 ports at 400Gbps over OM3 fiber at 850nm. Because the optics are built into the cable ends, installation is plug and play with no separate transceivers to manage, and airflow inside the rack stays unobstructed. It is well suited to 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. The standard length range runs from 1m (3ft) to 50m (164ft).

Applications
In 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks, the 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC, 30m provides a factory terminated 400Gbps link between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 ports. This unit is produced in 10 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 50m (164ft). The breakout design lets one high speed port feed 4x QSFP56, which raises port utilization and simplifies cabling in dense rows. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: IEEE 802.3cd, OIF-CEI-04.0, QSFP-DD MSA, QSFP-DD-CMIS-Rev4.0, SFF-8024, IEEE 802.3bs Annex120E. 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-4QAO. This cable is available in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 50m (164ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
Quality and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
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.
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.
