Applications
The 200G QSFP56 to 2 x QSFP56 Active Copper Breakout DAC Cable connects QSFP56 to 2× QSFP56 ports at 200Gbps in 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments. Ordered in customized lengths, it matches the actual rack geometry without slack. Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. Compatibility with Mellanox systems is verified in our own test lab before shipment, so the unit works out of the box as an equivalent of QSFP-200G-2QACxxx.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: IEEE 802.3cd, SFF-8665, QSFP MSA, SFF-8679, SFF-8636, InfiniBand HDR. For projects standardized on Mellanox hardware, this product replaces the QSFP-200G-2QACxxx directly, with identical fit and function. 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.
Ordering Information
This cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QSFP-200G-2QACXXX identifies the configuration. Wire gauge follows the length: 30AWG for 3m 28AWG for 5m 26AWG for 7m. When placing an order, tell us the length you need and any label or packaging requirements.
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.
Customization Service
Because we are the factory, customization is straightforward: non-standard lengths, different jacket materials, specific polarity or breakout wiring, and compatibility programming for particular switch brands are all routine work for us. Small trial orders are accepted so you can verify quality before scaling up.
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.
