The 400G QSFP-DD QDD PC Passive DAC, 0.5m provides a 400Gbps copper connection between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD ports with a cable length of 0.5m (2ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. 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
Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD QDD PC Passive DAC, 0.5m carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD interfaces. This unit is produced in 6 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 3m (10ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. 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 IEEE 802.3cd, QSFP-DD MSA, CMIS 4.0. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD to 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
The factory part number is QDD-400G-PC. This cable is available in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft) and 3m (10ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
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.
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.
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.
