400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable

The 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable is a twinax direct attach copper cable with QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56, supporting 400Gbps links over a length of Customized. 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 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, and complies with SFF-8665, QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE802.3bj, IEEE802.3 cd.

Product Highlights

• QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56
• Data rate: 400Gbps
• Length: Customized
• Operating temperature: 0 to 70°C (32 to 158°F)

Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 interfaces. Ordered in customized lengths, it matches the actual rack geometry without slack. The breakout design lets one high speed port feed 4x QSFP56, which raises port utilization and simplifies cabling in dense rows. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment. The link runs QSFP-DD-8x 50G-PAM4 QSFP56-2x 50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.

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.

This cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QDD-400G-4QPCxxx identifies the configuration. Wire gauge follows the length: 30AWG for ≤1.5m, 28AWG for 2m~3m. 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.

As a manufacturer serving the fiber optic industry since 1995, we have strong in-house manufacturing and design capability. From early GBIC, Xenpak and X2 modules to today's SFP, SFP+, QSFP, QSFP-DD and OSFP products, we grow together with the industry. OEM and custom-designed transceivers and cables are welcome, and our factory-direct pricing is very competitive compared with online retail stores.

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.

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.

Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.
