Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD to 2 x 200G QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable connects QSFP-DD to 2 QSFP56 ports at 400Gbps in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is supplied at 1m (3ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636, SFF-8679. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD to 2 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
This model is supplied at 1m (3ft) under part number QDD-400G-2QACxxx. Other lengths of the same assembly can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Samples for testing can be arranged before bulk orders.
Built to Your Spec
Our product line has grown with the industry for three decades, from GBIC-era modules to today's 800G and 1.6T interconnects. If the exact configuration you need is not listed, we can usually build it: custom lengths, mixed connector breakouts, OEM branding and project-specific firmware coding are all supported.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Quality Assurance
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.
Packing Details
Standard packing is an anti-static bag plus blister protection, with cartons sized to keep products from moving in transit. We apply our standard labels by default; neutral packing or customer-branded labels, part number stickers and serial barcodes are all available on request.
