The 400G QSFP-DD QDD PCxxx Passive DAC provides a 400Gbps copper connection between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD ports with a cable length of customized length. As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments.

Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD QDD PCxxx Passive DAC carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD interfaces. The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing. The link runs 8x 50G PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
This product is designed and tested to comply with industry MSA standards. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
This model is supplied at standard length under part number QDD-400G-PCxxx. Other lengths of the same assembly can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG for 0.5/1/1.5m, 28AWG for 2m, 26AWG for 2.5/3m.
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.
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.
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.
