Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD QDD AC Active DAC Cable, 5m connects QSFP-DD ports at 425Gbps in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is offered in 4 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP-DD port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
Order this assembly under part number QDD-400G-AC. Available lengths are 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft) and 5m (16ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 28AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
Factory Custom Capability
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.
How We Ship
Most orders travel by international express and arrive within days; palletized freight by air or sea is used for volume orders. If you prefer, we ship on your DHL, UPS or FedEx account, or deliver to your appointed agent in China for onward consolidation.
Quality Assurance
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.
Packing Details
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.
