400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC, 30m

The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC, 30m connects QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 ports at 400Gbps over OM3 fiber at 850nm. Because the optics are built into the cable ends, installation is plug and play with no separate transceivers to manage, and airflow inside the rack stays unobstructed. It is well suited to 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. Length options run from 1m (3ft) to 50m (164ft) as standard.

Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC, 30m is a 400Gbps active optical cable for QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 connections in 400G Ethernet, data center interconnect and 5G transport networks. This unit is made in 10 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 50m (164ft). The breakout design lets one high speed port feed 4x QSFP56, which raises port utilization and simplifies cabling in dense rows. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs QSFP-DD-8x 50G-PAM4 QSFP56-2x 50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers IEEE 802.3cd, OIF-CEI-04.0, QSFP-DD MSA, QSFP-DD-CMIS-Rev4.0, SFF-8024, IEEE 802.3bs Annex120E. 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
The part number for this assembly is QDD-400G-4QAO. We offer this cable in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft) and 50m (164ft). Other lengths can be custom manufactured on request.
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.
Package
Products are first packed into blister trays or self-sealed bags and then into cartons. Standard labels and marks are applied by default, and customized packing and labeling are available on request.
OEM and Custom Orders
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
Logistics
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.
