Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD QDD ACxxx Active DAC Cable is a 425Gbps active copper cable for QSFP-DD 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. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD 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-ACxxx. Other lengths of the same assembly can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
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.
Packaging
Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.
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.
