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.

The 400G QSFP-DD to 8 x 50G SFP56 Passive Copper Breakout DAC Cable is a 400Gbps direct attach copper cable for QSFP-DD to 8x SFP56 connections 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. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing.
Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8432, IEEE 802.3bs-400GAUI-8, IEEE802.3cd-50GAUI-1, CMIS 4.0, SFF-8472. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD to 8x SFP56 interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
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.
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.
