400G QSFP-DD QDD AE AEC, 5m

Built for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD QDD AE AEC, 5m delivers 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD interfaces over Active DAC (AEC) fiber at 850nm. The integrated design removes the need for separate optical modules and simplifies sparing. Length options run from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft) as standard.

Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD QDD AE AEC, 5m connects QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD ports at 400Gbps in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is made in 4 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). 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. The link runs 8x 50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE 802.3cd, CMIS 5.0. 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-AE. We offer this cable in 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). Other lengths can be custom manufactured on request. Wire gauge: 28AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Worldwide Delivery
We ship to customers around the world every week. Express couriers handle most orders door to door in a few days; larger consignments go by air or sea to keep freight costs down. Tracking information is provided for every shipment, and we are flexible on shipping accounts and forwarders.
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.
Packaging Options
Default packaging is simple and protective: sealed bag, blister tray, export carton. For OEM customers we also offer white-label packing, custom printed boxes and per-unit labeling with your own part numbers, so the goods can go straight into your sales channel.
Factory Custom Capability
Working directly with the manufacturer means no middleman limits. We support OEM and ODM projects, custom cable assemblies, alternative packaging and compatibility coding for major equipment vendors, with engineering support from the same team that designs our standard products.
