AddOn MSA and TAA Compliant 400GBase-CU QSFP-DD 400G to 4xQSFP56 100G PAM-4 Direct Attach Cable (Passive Twinax, 2.5m)

The AddOn Q400G4Q56GPDC2-5M-AO is an industry-standard 400GBase-CU QSFP-DD to 4xQSFP56 100G PAM-4 direct attach cable designed for high-speed data center applications. Operating over passive copper with a maximum reach of 2.5 meters (8.2 feet), this cable provides reliable, low-latency connectivity suitable for demanding network environments. It is programmed, uniquely serialized, and rigorously tested to ensure full compliance with industry standards, offering peace of mind for network professionals seeking quality and performance. Crafted with high-quality copper conductors and a PVC jacket, this cable combines durability with excellent EMI/EMC performance thanks to 360-degree shield termination, minimizing interference and signal loss. It supports aggregate data rates of up to 400Gbps, making it ideal for data-intensive tasks and high-bandwidth infrastructures. The cable features a pull-to-release slide latch for secure connections and utilizes advanced dual-side pre-solder automated assembly technologies for consistent quality and reliability. Compliant with the QSFP-DD MSA Specification Rev 3.4, SFF-8679 electrical interface, and SFF-8636 management interface, this cable is compatible with IEEE 802.3bj, IEEE 802.3by, and IEEE 802.3cd standards, ensuring seamless integration with a broad range of networking equipment. The cable's I2C communication support allows for efficient EEPROM management, while the 28AWG through 32AWG cable size offers flexibility and ease of installation. Built in the United States and the United Kingdom, this TAA-compliant cable meets RoHS environmental standards and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty from AddOn. Whether deploying new data centers or upgrading existing hardware, this twinaxial network cable provides a robust, high-performance solution for modern high-speed networks.
