AddOn QSDD400256PDC2-5M-AO 400GBASE-CU QSFP-DD to 2xQSFP56 Passive Copper Direct Attach Cable, 8.2ft

AddOn MSA and TAA Compliant 400GBase-CU QSFP-DD 400G to 2xQSFP56 200G PAM-4 Direct Attach Cable (Passive Twinax, 2.5m)

The AddOn QSDD400256PDC2-5M-AO is a high-performance 400GBase-CU QSFP-DD to dual QSFP56 passive copper direct attach cable designed for demanding data center and high-speed networking applications. This cable features a maximum reach of 8.2 feet, providing reliable high-bandwidth connections in compact setups. Engineered with 28 AWG copper conductors, it ensures low signal loss and excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance with 360-degree shield termination, making it suitable for environments with high electrical noise. The cable is constructed with environmentally friendly PVC jacket material and complies with RoHS-6 standards, emphasizing its eco-conscious design and manufacturing in the United States and United Kingdom. It is TAA compliant, meeting industry and government procurement standards and built according to Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) specifications, specifically QSFP-DD MSA Rev 3.4, ensuring compatibility and adherence to industry standards. The cable supports aggregate data rates of 100 and 400 Gbps, compatible with IEEE 802.3bj, IEEE 802.3by, and IEEE 802.3cd standards, making it versatile for various high-speed network infrastructures. It features a pull-to-release slide latch for secure and easy connection and utilizes I2C communication for EEPROM management. The manufacturing process incorporates advantage dual-side pre-solder automated assembly technologies, resulting in a product that is low loss, mechanically robust, and flexible. With a lifetime limited warranty, the AddOn cable offers peace of mind for critical network deployments, backed by quality assurance and durable construction.
