The 200G QSFP56 4x 50G PAM4 to 4x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Passive Breakout DAC Cable, 3m is a passive breakout dac direct attach copper cable with QSFP56 to 4x SFP56, supporting 200Gbps links over a length of 3m (10ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, and complies with SFF-8661, SFF-8432, IEEE 802.3bs-200GAUI-4, IEEE802.3cd-50GAUI-1, SFP-8636, SFF-8472.

Applications
The 200G QSFP56 4x 50G PAM4 to 4x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Passive Breakout DAC Cable, 3m is a 200Gbps direct attach copper cable for QSFP56 to 4x SFP56 connections in 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is produced in 4 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 3m (10ft). By fanning one port out to 4x SFP56, it doubles or quadruples the number of endpoints served per switch port and keeps the cabling plant simple. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing. The link runs QSFP56-4x 50G-PAM4 SFP56-50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 200G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with SFF-8661, SFF-8432, IEEE 802.3bs-200GAUI-4, IEEE802.3cd-50GAUI-1, SFP-8636, SFF-8472. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP56 to 4x SFP56 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
The factory part number is QSFP-200G-4SPC. This cable is available in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft). Lengths outside the standard range are made to order in our factory. Wire gauge: 26AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
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.
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.
Delivery
Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.
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.
