100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive DAC

The 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between SFP-DD to SFP-DD ports with a cable length of 0.5m (2ft). 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 100G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments.

The 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) is a 100Gbps direct attach copper cable for SFP-DD to SFP-DD connections in 100G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments. This unit is supplied in 4 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 3m (10ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request. The link runs 2x 50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.

This product is designed and tested to comply with SFP-DD MSA, SFP-DD MIS, IEEE 802.3cd. It plugs into any standards-based SFP-DD to SFP-DD port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.

This model carries part number SDD-100G-PC005. You can order this assembly in 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft). Non-standard lengths can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.

Transceivers and cables are individually protected against static and dust, then consolidated into sturdy cartons suitable for international courier shipment. For larger orders we shrink-wrap and strap cartons onto pallets. Tell us your warehouse or retail requirements and we will pack accordingly.

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.

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.

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.
