Specifications

Signal and Lane Configuration

The listed modulation format is 8x100G-PAM4. Both host interfaces must be configured for the same aggregate rate and lane arrangement. A connector that fits mechanically does not by itself guarantee that the remote port supports this encoding or breakout mode.

Position Within the Length Range

QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT occupies the middle of this family between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-1M3FT at 1m (3ft) and QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-3M10FT at 3m (10ft). It adds 1m over the shorter option for extra routing clearance, while the next longer version adds another 1m. Measure the managed path and choose this version when its reach is sufficient without creating the slack associated with the longer assembly.

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. For this assembly, the listed conductor specification is 32AWG; the minimum bend radius is 36.5; the stated power consumption is 12W Per End; the jacket material is PET.

Power and Thermal Planning

The rated power consumption is 12W Per End. Include this load in the host-port power and thermal budget, especially in densely populated switches. Maintain front-panel clearance and do not bundle the cable so tightly that it obstructs airflow around the connectors.

Cable Construction and Routing

This assembly uses 32AWG conductors, PET jacket, minimum bend radius 36.5. These mechanical characteristics affect how the cable should be dressed behind the equipment. Avoid sharp edges, excessive ties and repeated tight bends close to the connector boots.

Network and Protocol Considerations

The intended application is 800G Ethernet. Listed interface and protocol references include CMIS 5.0, IEEE 802.3ck, QSFP-DD MSA Rev6.3. Confirm that the host firmware and port configuration support the same operating mode.

Length Selection and Installation Planning

QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT provides 2m (7ft) for connections between separated rack units or nearby equipment positions. Plan the route around cable managers and power cords, keeping the assembly free from connector strain while avoiding a large obstruction in the airflow path.

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. Keep QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD-800G-AEC-2M7FT associated with 2m (7ft) throughout the order and receiving record.

Generic 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. Both connectors are examined before the operating test, which includes link stability and diagnostic indications.

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.

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. Standard protective packing is used by default, with project documentation arranged when requested.
