Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD to 4 x 100G QSFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to 4x QSFP56 interfaces. Ordered in customized lengths, it matches the actual rack geometry without slack. 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. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing.
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 cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QDD-400G-4QPCxxx identifies the configuration. Wire gauge follows the length: 30AWG for ≤1.5m, 28AWG for 2m~3m. When placing an order, tell us the length you need and any label or packaging requirements.
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.
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.
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.
