The 200G QSFP56 ACxxx Active DAC Cable provides a 200Gbps copper connection between QSFP56 to QSFP56 ports with a cable length of Customized. Active electronics inside the connectors extend the usable reach compared with passive copper while keeping power draw low. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments.

Applications
Designed for 200G Ethernet data center and cloud network environments, the 200G QSFP56 ACxxx Active DAC Cable carries 200Gbps between QSFP56 to QSFP56 interfaces. Ordered in customized lengths, it matches the actual rack geometry without slack. It installs directly into standard ports with no separate transceivers or patch cords to manage at either end. Our factory programs the compatibility coding for your switch brand before shipment and verifies each unit on real host equipment.
Standards and Compatibility
This product is designed and tested to comply with IEEE 802.3cd, SFF-8665, SFF-8679, SFF-8636. It plugs into any standards-based QSFP56 to QSFP56 port, and compatibility coding for specific switch or router brands can be done in our factory before shipment.
Ordering Information
This cable is built to order in customized lengths. Our part number QSFP-200G-ACxxx identifies the configuration. Wire gauge follows the length: 30AWG for 3m, 28AWG for 4,5m, 26AWG for 7m. When placing an order, tell us the length you need and any label or packaging requirements. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
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.
Quality and Testing
Every unit we ship is tested in our own test bed on mainstream switch and transport platforms before packing. Our test center has been fully upgraded, which sets us apart from other third party product providers: 10G, 40G, 100G, 200G and 400G transceivers and direct attach cables are verified on the latest top brand equipment, including selected original switches that can hardly be found elsewhere.
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.
