Specifications

Exact Length and Product Identity

This product page covers QDD-400G-AC05 in 5m (16ft). The OEM reference, physical length and HT factory configuration should remain together on the purchase order and receiving record. Other reaches or compatibility identities must be selected and verified separately rather than assumed to be interchangeable.

Structured Pathways and Serviceability

Treat the direct-attach assembly as part of the permanent pathway plan even when the link is expected to be temporary. Follow the intended horizontal and vertical managers, maintain the specified bend radius and leave service access around both ports. A small, supported service allowance is preferable to excess slack concealed inside a rack or placed under cable-tie pressure.

Cable Construction and Installation Planning

This 5m (16ft) active copper assembly connects compatible QSFP-DD ports without separate optical modules. Confirm the aggregate rate, lane configuration and host operating mode before installation. Support the complete twinax run, preserve connector access and do not crease the cable or force it into a tight service loop.

NVIDIA/Mellanox Compatibility and Factory Testing

Verification covers the physical connectors, expected host identity and an operating link with available diagnostic indications. We distinguish this complete check from a simple continuity test. Platform model and software release can be reviewed in advance where the installation has strict documentation or change-control requirements. Factory acceptance covers both connector housings, host identification, live-link stability and diagnostic indications where the platform exposes them. The assembly is checked as the exact active copper configuration and length listed here.

Quality Assurance and Packaging

After connector inspection and link verification, the assembly is coiled without tight bends and packed with end protection. Labels can cross-reference the customer cable schedule, OEM part number and length. This supports both receiving checks and later moves, adds or changes.

Ordering Information

Include the part number, fixed length, quantity and required pathway or rack grouping in the order information. The host model and firmware release are useful for change-controlled deployments. Different lengths should remain separate order lines so delivered labels and packing records agree with the pathway plan. This page describes QDD-400G-AC05 in 5m (16ft); quote this exact reference and length together with quantity and the intended host platform.

Shipping and Lead Time

Standard configurations normally ship within one to three working days, while production quantities are confirmed with the order. Worldwide courier services are available, with air or sea freight for consolidated shipments; freight-collect delivery and coordination with a customer’s logistics provider can be arranged.
