The 400G QSFP-DD QDD AE AEC, 5m is an active optical cable assembly with QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD, carrying 400Gbps over Active DAC (AEC) at 850nm. Factory terminated and tested as a complete link, it offers a lighter and more flexible alternative to discrete transceivers with patch cords for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. We keep 4 standard lengths ready, running from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft).

Applications
Designed for 400G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 400G QSFP-DD QDD AE AEC, 5m carries 400Gbps between QSFP-DD to QSFP-DD interfaces. This unit is offered in 4 standard lengths from 1m (3ft) to 5m (16ft). The integrated construction removes separate optics from the link budget and reduces the number of failure points in the row. If your project needs a specific vendor coding or custom label, our production line handles it as a routine step before packing. The link runs 8x 50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 400G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Standards compliance covers QSFP-DD MSA, IEEE 802.3cd, CMIS 5.0. The unit works in any equipment with a standard QSFP-DD to 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
Order this assembly under part number QDD-400G-AE. 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.
OEM and Custom Orders
We have manufactured fiber optic connectivity products since 1995 and run our own production lines in Shenzhen. Beyond the standard catalog we build to order: special cable lengths, custom connector combinations, vendor-specific compatibility coding and private labeling. Send us your requirement and our engineers will quote a practical solution.
Shipping and Lead Time
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.
Our Testing Process
Production samples and every outgoing batch pass through bit-error-rate measurement, temperature verification and plug-in compatibility checks on mainstream switches and routers. Because we are the manufacturer, any issue found in testing is fed back to the production line immediately instead of being passed on to customers.
Packaging Options
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.
