400G QSFP-DD to 8 x 50G SFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable

The 400G QSFP-DD to 8 x 50G SFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable is a passive breakout dac direct attach copper cable with QSFP-DD to 8x SFP56, supporting 400Gbps links over a length of 0.5m (2ft)~3m (10ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. It is a cost effective, low latency interconnect for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, and complies with QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8432, IEEE 802.3bs-400GAUI-8, IEEE802.3cd-50GAUI-1, CMIS 4.0, SFF-8472.

Product Highlights

• QSFP-DD to 8x SFP56

The 400G QSFP-DD to 8 x 50G SFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable connects QSFP-DD to 8x SFP56 ports at 400Gbps in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is supplied at 0.5m (2ft)~3m (10ft). One port becomes 8x SFP56, a common pattern for connecting newer aggregation ports to an installed base of lower speed equipment. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.

This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8432, IEEE 802.3bs-400GAUI-8, IEEE802.3cd-50GAUI-1, CMIS 4.0, SFF-8472. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP-DD to 8x SFP56 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.

This model is supplied at 0.5m (2ft)~3m (10ft) under part number QDD-400G-8SPCxxx. Other lengths of the same assembly can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 28~30AWG.

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.

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.

Standard products are held in stock and usually ship within one to three working days. We dispatch worldwide by DHL, UPS, FedEx, TNT or EMS, and for bulk orders we arrange air or sea freight. Shipments can also be sent collect on your own courier account or delivered to your freight 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.
