400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 8x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC
The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 8x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC connects QSFP-DD to 8x 50G SFP56 ports at 425Gbps (8x 53.125GGbps) 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 and cloud network environments. Length options run from 1m (3ft) to 70m (230ft) as standard.

Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 8x 50G SFP56 50G PAM4 Breakout AOC connects QSFP-DD to 8x 50G SFP56 ports at 425Gbps (8x 53.125GGbps) in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is made in 12 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 70m (230ft). By fanning one port out to 8x 50G SFP56, it doubles or quadruples the number of endpoints served per switch port and keeps the cabling plant simple. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: QSFP-DD MSA, SFP56 MSA, IEEE 802.3cd. Every unit's EEPROM coding and link behavior are verified on real host equipment in our lab, so what arrives at your site is ready to use.
Ordering Information
The part number for this assembly is QDD-400G-8SAO. We offer this cable in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 7m (23ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 25m (82ft), 30m (98ft), 50m (164ft) and 70m (230ft). Other lengths can be custom manufactured on request. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
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 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.
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.
Customization Service
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
