400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Passive Breakout DAC Cable

The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Passive Breakout DAC Cable, 2m provides a 400Gbps copper connection between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 ports with a cable length of 2m (7ft). 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 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Passive Breakout DAC Cable, 2m carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 interfaces. This unit is manufactured in 6 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 3m (10ft). One port becomes 4x QSFP56, a common pattern for connecting newer aggregation ports to an installed base of lower speed equipment. 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 SFF-8665, QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE802.3bj, IEEE802.3 cd. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 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
Part number of this model: QDD-400G-4QPC. Length options are 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft) and 3m (10ft). Our factory also produces custom lengths beyond these on request. Wire gauge: 28AWG.
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 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.
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.
