Applications
In 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 200G QSFP56 to 2 x QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable provides a factory terminated 200Gbps link between QSFP56 to 2× QSFP56 ports. Ordered in customized lengths, it matches the actual rack geometry without slack. It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Compatibility with Mellanox systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QSFP-200G-2QACxxx.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: IEEE 802.3cd, SFF-8665, QSFP MSA, SFF-8679, SFF-8636, InfiniBand HDR. For projects standardized on Mellanox hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-200G-2QACxxx directly, with identical fit and function. 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
This cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QSFP-200G-2QACXXX identifies the configuration. Wire gauge follows the length: 30AWG for 3m 28AWG for 5m 26AWG for 7m. When placing an order, tell us the length you need and any label or packaging requirements. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Customization Service
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
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.
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.
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.
