Applications
The 400G QSFP-DD QDD ACxxx Active DAC Cable is a 425Gbps active copper cable for QSFP-DD connections in 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. This unit is supplied at 1m (3ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. Custom labeling, packaging and compatibility coding for specific equipment vendors are available from our factory on request.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA, SFF-8636. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD interface; if your network uses a specific vendor's coding, tell us the switch model and we will program and verify it before delivery.
Ordering Information
This model is supplied at 1m (3ft) under part number QDD-400G-ACxxx. Other lengths of the same assembly can be produced on request. Wire gauge: 30AWG.
Built to Your Spec
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.
Logistics
Our warehouse keeps fast-moving transceivers and cables ready for same-week dispatch. Courier, air freight and sea freight options are all available depending on your budget and schedule, and we consolidate multiple items into one shipment whenever it saves you cost.
Reliability Control
From incoming component inspection to final burn-in, quality is controlled at each step of production. Finished units are verified on real networking equipment in our compatibility lab, and test records are kept per batch so that any field question can be traced back quickly.
How We Pack
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.
