The 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 to QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) provides a 100Gbps copper connection between SFP-DD to QSFP56 ports with a cable length of 0.5m (2ft). As a passive cable it draws essentially no power and adds no latency to the link. Direct attach copper keeps both latency and power consumption to a minimum, which makes it the economical choice for 100G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments.

Applications
In 100G Ethernet data center and enterprise network environments, the 100G SFP-DD 2 x 50G PAM4 to QSFP56 2 x 50G PAM4 Passive DAC, 0.5m (2ft) provides a factory terminated 100Gbps link between SFP-DD to QSFP56 ports. This unit is offered in 4 standard lengths from 0.5m (2ft) to 3m (10ft). Because the assembly is factory terminated and tested as a complete link, installation is plug and play on both ends. 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 SFP-DD-2x 50G-PAM4QSFP56-2x 50G-PAM4 modulation, which keeps it aligned with current 100G switch silicon.
Standards and Compatibility
Compliance: SFPDD: SFP-DD MSA, SFP-DD MIS, IEEE 802.3cdQSFP56: SFF-8661, SFF-8636, IEEE 802.3cd. 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
Order this assembly under part number SDD-100G-QPC005. Available lengths are 0.5m (2ft), 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft) and 3m (10ft). If you need a length outside this list, our factory can build it to order. Wire gauge: 30AWG. Volume pricing is available for project quantities.
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.
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.
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.
Tested Before Shipment
We do not ship untested stock. Each transceiver and cable is powered up in our test racks, checked for link stability, transmit power, receiver sensitivity and diagnostic readouts, and only then packed for delivery. This factory-level testing is one reason network integrators keep reordering from us year after year.
