Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD 8x 50G PAM4 to 4x 100G QSFP56 2x 50G PAM4 Passive Breakout DAC Cable, 2m carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 interfaces. This unit is supplied in 6 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 3m (10ft). By fanning one port out to 4x QSFP56, it doubles or quadruples the number of endpoints served per switch port and keeps the cabling plant simple. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.

Compliance: SFF-8665, QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE802.3bj, IEEE802.3 cd. 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.

This model carries part number QDD-400G-4QPC. You can order this assembly in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 1.5m (5ft), 2m (7ft), 2.5m (8ft) and 3m (10ft). Non-standard lengths can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 28AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.

Goods are normally sent by courier such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS; air and sea freight are also available on request. Commonly used items are kept in stock for immediate shipment, and out-of-stock items are usually delivered within a few working days. We can also ship on your courier account or hand goods to your appointed forwarder.

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.

Each unit is sealed in an anti-static bag, cushioned in a blister tray and boxed in an export-grade carton. Outer cartons carry handling marks and can be palletized for air or sea freight. If your project requires retail boxes, barcodes or your own brand on the label, we can arrange that as well.

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.
